Jonny Jones Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Can anybody help? Need a wide rear rim. Ive been looking at Halo, Sun Double Wide etc etc. Apparently disc rims can be used for rim brakes!? Will be for an Ashton Justice.Cheers people!Jonny.

joshywa Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) koxx is always good i heard halo's wear down very fast though (plus they weigh alot) Edited January 31, 2006 by joshywa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSuave Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Ah.... Mr jones. i take it your wanting something without holes in it judging by the '' not interested in viz etc'' comment??! An Alex DX32 may do the trick or a planet-x BMF are wicked and bombproof when i used em, not sure where youd get hold of one though, maybe chain reaction cycles.If you dont mind the holes, my onza hog badbaoy is holding up well after some heavy abuse (well i keep calling it fat and it hasn't buckled)hope this helps old chap. must have a ride soon. peace out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 DX32?? Been hearing they are the bees knees of this side of thee world! Well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Jock Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Atomlab Aircorp should do you nicely, not too heavy and serious pimp factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yes, Koxx are very good and i ride them on my 20". I love them and would'nt get anything else, and they are very nice when they are shinning out there vibrant colours in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Some people dont like sun double wides, maybe because of the angled sidewalls.BMF alllllll the way!!!! Been using mine for years, grinded it god knows how many times.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 does BMF stand for BigMotherf**ker?I still love mavics, d521 all the way, i may put my old one back on, although the ronnie is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 does BMF stand for BigMotherf**ker?Yes it does. I would say maybe go with the mbf, but i managed to bomb mine out a fair few times, and it gained a couple of dents (15 or so), my ronnie is exactly the same width and only has one small dent at the minute.i would say go with the ronnie but its up to you.

Mr Motivator Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I'm guessing that it's for you Jonny, and I doubt you'll want a drilled rim, so.. Either an Alex DX32 which br3n might be able to sort you out with, actually my friend has a 36h black uneyeleted one that's sat in his shed doing nowt, OR an undrilled Onza Ronnie as they come in 32h and 36h and are a nice 38mm wide (I think ) and eyeleted.I'd go for the Ronnie from personal experience, just specify undrilled when you order edit: The Sun Doublewide is quite a beast and rather heavy and pretty expensive. Prawn has one drilled which he's using a rim brake on which works fine but he was saying how flexy it was compared to his D521.

Jonny Jones Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks for all the replies! Ive had a Koxx rim in the past, and it was poultry. Pretty much killed it.DX32's i believe only come in 32 hole and my King is 36 hole Im gonna see if my Ex721 works (D521), if not, then prob atomlab or summot.Cheers J.

Janson Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 get a 36h dx32 and be happy. they're great rims, really underrated. everyone will run them in the summer of '06 when they finally realized they were THE trials rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I agree with Janson on this, I have had DX32's on the rear before and LOVED them they are awsome rims, they hold grinds well and are bloody strong, mine were drilled out to 22mm on the rear and 25mm on the front and never realy had a problem with them if u can get hold of one i would get it!!!Failing that an onza ronnie would surfice, very good rear rims, hold grinds well but imo because of the high sidewall they do dent slightly easier than other rims.......Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials_joe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Zhi-Bike's are doing a new rim. Looks like a Koxx but might be worth a try at least. Failing that you can't go wrong with the old Echo rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon W Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) Sun Doublewide!! just dont grind as much as i have because the sidewalls are hollow.f**king sick strong oh yer and dont drill it better undrilled chainreaction is the place to get em.although some dont like it becos of the weight. it all about strength with this rim baby 1.175kg mine weights. you know it makes sense if you dont fancy that try getting hold of either:undrilled ronnie orundrilled hoghad a ronnie, and its ACTUALLY bombproof!
