Stan Shaw Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) Yes indeed the "new" echo rims are poo.. I think the Onza ronnie is still the best wide rim on the market, they are pretty tough.. Wouldn't mind something a little wider, but theres nowt out there. A 43mm ronnie rim would be cool.

Luke Drewery Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Look on tartybikes here, they make two versions for the front rim, singlewall(400 grams) and doublewall (520 grams). Thney still only make one double wall version of the rear rim though. The singlewall front rim is lighter than my x517! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 dx32 is the most popular trials rim in sweden. over here, they're not too hard to find, 26" eyeletted. undrilled of course. they're the best rims ever, my drilled one was good until i ground the sidewalls too thin, getting my new hub built to another dx32.. surely there should be an alex rim importer in england?!

(Y) Cheers, Joe. ← Nope, when everyone used to run Mavic rims, these rims were referred to as cheese rims. I think Tarty started that saying, not sure. Rossi.
