matt360 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hey, I've got a d521 on the rear at the mo, but it's a right pain to set up my rear mag as the braking surface is small. This means it's difficult to set it up without the pad coming off the rim/rubbing the tyre. Does any have any suggestions of a wider rim with a larger sidewall? Oh yeah an it's gotta fit in a ashton.Cheers,Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 dx32 has not got a very high braking surface compared to the ronnie. it might be a little big higher than a koxx rim, but not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) fanf**kingtastik!! its insane works awesome in the wet aswell. got some wd40 on it today but gave it a clean and it back to its beast like state they dont make that rim anymore by the way, but i guess there will be some knocking around.edit. from a quick google, i think supercycles may have some, give them a ring.

Ben Geary Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Yeah ronnies have a big side wall, go for one of them, also if you want a mamoth i seen one is supercycles about 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
