Street Lee Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Bought a pair of Mavic 719's off the Bay and only just realised after talking to Tom, how thin they are! Got a 2.5 High roller on the back, coming from DM24's am I going to notice shitloads of fold in the tyres when I spin/pivot? If so there's no point me building them up and I'll have to look for something bigger for the back. Although saying that my back tyres f**ked so could go slightly thinner (2.3 Factory DH). Must say the weight and asthetics are pretty pleasing though!HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmt_oli Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 There good for the front, but prob a bit weak and thin for the rear. I use a D521 (now 721) and that is thin in terms of modern trials rims, but is strong. i have bent a 719 on a xc bike, so i dont think it would hold up too good to trials.

nafan Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I run a D521 up front, but when I had one on the back I had to do a pad bodge to even make the pads touch the rim (on a zoo pitbull 05 frame) so I got an old echo and the problem was soon sorted...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Lee Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) The brake isnt really a problem cause I'm on a 26Mhz but was just wanting to know how bad the tyre was gonna fold. Think I'm just gonna run them front and back, keep the spokes tight and get a DX32 if/when the back pringles.

Tomm Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 The only thing you can do to stop tyre foldage is pump them up a bit more, or get a narrower tyre. As for the rim, the 721s are damn good rims, but as you have found out they are a bit narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 get some dmr tyres lee and 100psi...STREEEEEEEET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Lee Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 f**k that, my wrists are loving tyres that aren't 40psi in the front and 80psi in the back! I think I'll be ok cause I weigh about 6 stone wet through and I'm a fanny so I'll not be doing anything obscene enough to be breaking wheels.

Dan6061 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Use 2 rims at the back (Like Fatmike did/does) or whack them backon eBay, and buy a wider rim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich4130 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I'm using one with a maggy at this very moment.Grind the lip off, or just leave it, works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Lee Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'm using one with a maggy at this very moment.Grind the lip off, or just leave it, works fine.Oh right, my bad! Might look into them then, torn between the eternal search for an undrilled DX32 or a welded rynolite XL. Pretty limited what I can go for as the pash has a narrow rear end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
