ben_travis Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Alright people. this post is for bigman. all i want to know is... Whats the rear rim holding up like? Whats it like to hold a grind? Has it dented or anything yet? well if your talking about his echo rim, i hae frnt and rear rims, and they are truly, truly awesome. Grind is superb. im running an uber low pressure and not got any dents or anything like that. its stable on the back wheel and the front one has taken some massivio taps and bashing and holding up fine. I have a grind front and rear and its perfect. im loving miine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I completely agree with Ben, my rear rim is holding up VERY well, it has had a grind on it since i got it and it is still nice and sharp, and the brake still holds like a beast, it is sooo stable on the rear wheel, and when riding with low tyre pressures it barely rims out, which is good for a big lad like myself. As of yet there are no dents, and i have been hammering it onto some very pointy stuff, natural and street. The overall impressions of these rims is that they are AWSOME, deffiantly better than a koxx rim for example, they are just like e ronnie, just alot wider, which is deffiantly a good thing.

I am currently saving for a Czar, but any pictures of high bb frames would be nice (I have already seen some from other sites etc.) I have noticed though that the Adamant is much more popular than the Czar, why is this?
