Punkrider Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I think i prefer the looks of the Echo, but i am not sure how strong they are though (Y) Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModRider! Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I voted for Reggie and Ronnie rims because i think they look great and most people including myself like them and their strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Reggie/ronnie or echo (Y) theyre practically the same but i do prefer the look of the echo CNCed bits instead of drills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Porter Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 (edited) echo as it looks like best and is strongest. i had a ronnie and i kept snapping spokes in it, i know others have problems with this aswell. i couldnt work it out but i have been informed that it is to do with the ronnie not being as strong with sideways movement. echo rims take a right beating, and i havent had any problems with spokes snapping unlike my ronnie. the reggie and viz rims arent really in the same league as the echo and ronnie, being made from a softer material and well known for being "cheese" ie not strong...the only benifit they bring is that they are wider.

Matthews Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 If you want a WIDE rim the get a viz there are pretty beaf cake :lol: If you want a strong rim get a ronnie :( If you want a nice looking rim with a good strength go for the echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Alex DX-32 do it for you? Or is that too narrow for you? Check out Bigman's bike in the Gallery to get an idea :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboy2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Onza Ronnies :lol: Ihave heard that Echo ones dent easily, Onza ronnies all the way :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Depending on what frame you are running, i would go for the echo rim. It is plenty wide enough for most frames brake mounts, and looks sweet too. It is also plenty strong too which is always a bonus. If you dont like that then go for the ronnie, nice rim and pretty strong if built correctly (same with any other rim). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I voted for echo. They're made out of the same matreials as ronnie's. But.. ah i dunno actually i would have gone for the ronnies but only caus theyre 36 hole. What hubs have you got (what hole)? But the echo's are quite sexy... Cheers, Joe.

N.Wood Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 But Onza Ronnies arn't CNC'd are they? ← Noope, the Ronnie's are drilled. I'd go Ronnie, my mates Echo was absolute shite - Only useable as a front rim really. It was full of dents after one ride :lol: He's not running a Ronnie, and hasn't dented it at all, even though he's been running it about 10 times longer than the Echo.

Punkrider Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I have heard that the Echo rims have really soft sidewalls, is this true? Cheers Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Echo, because they look good. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Well my Echo rim (the one before CNC ones) has died today. 5 huge dents and a massive flatspot, the tyre wont stay on the rim above 10psi it pops off. Although this has happened I would deffinatly reccomend them as this is due to my mech ripping into the spokes and weakening the build which didnt help.

oakley Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 i would say echo and then onza!!! joE! :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Vox Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Ronnie!!!! i heard that the new echos aren't as strong because they have knocked 100grammes off them, plus they dent easily. My mates is screwed whereas my ronnie which i got before him (both built by the tart onto the same hubs, both 32 hole, and we both do all the same stuff but my mates smoother than me) and mine is perfect!!! ONZA!!! :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I thought the ronnie/reggies were exactly the same material as the echos? and were practically the same as the old echo rims (that had drillholes). Same goes for onza hog and viz - arent they both just tryall copies, but with eyelets? :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Well I've just ordered a Hog to go on my Profile hub. I'll tell you what It's like once i've got it built up. It's only a rim though. They'll all be about the same, so If i were you I'd just pick the prettiest :turned: Which is the Echo IMO. (I couldn't get the Echo one 'cos it isn't 36h which my profile is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
