jamiequin Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I was out riding about 10 minutes ago and i was messing around on a kurb when i pulled my front brake and the rim just bent in and a bit snapped of. I am now looking for a new front wheel I realy want drilled rims but i dont think i am good enough for my bike to have them yet. Has any one got any suggestions as to what wheel i should get, i am on bugit though so be nice. :) p:s I am still riding, I am using a Axelrims DX32 wheel setup.

Simpson Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 What is it with you! your getting a new bike, want a mini seat, starting up loads of topics! lol A drilled rim doesn't make you good so by all means get a drilled rim, i know people say its to reduce weight but more than anything its more fashion an looks great so don't be affraid to get 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been running mavic ex721 rims front and back for a year and eight months and have only recently egged the back one. but this was due to no pressure and largly unsmoothness. But they are incredible rims and I would choose them on every new wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 How the f**k did you crush your rim from a Magura :P Unless you've been grinding away like a beaver, or you have some crazy kryptonite filled Magura, then something's gone amiss...
