Seem to be good rims to go for :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 The old echos fitted a 521 unbodged, but the new ones don't. I reckon that your best bet would be to find out the brake mount spacing. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Yellow Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 too much hassle if you ask me, you seem a bit picky and i don't actually know whats going on now, 1st you said you have F519's which will not fit, but now you;re on about you don't even have the frame, so....err (Y) what??? how exactly would you know it won;t fit if you don;t have a the frame yet?.... and i would assume most frames, if not all would take an echo nicely, and its light in my opinion. others such as RONNIE, (rear onza rim is also the same width as an echo) or the REGGIE,(the front version of RONNIE which is 32mm wide/doublewall) so thats that.. if you don't like our help and keep being a mong then just go to a bikeshop and tell them to fit you a rim that will work with whatever set up you've got at the moment. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Why not just say that you're having to make sure your ti spokes fit in the build at the beginning? Have a look for yourself on CRC, they have lots and lots of rims, you're sure to find one in between Echo and 521 width (Y) If all else fails, you could probably sell your ti spokes and get some normal ones (which will be just as good) and have a choice of whatever rim you like - I'd personally go for a Ronnie/Echo rim.
