nb88 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 As im using an ALEX DM24 on my echo control at the moment i'm after something wider so i dont have to use pad bodges....just wondering what the best rim is.Needs to be nice and wide, preferably eyeletted, and nice and strong and can hold a grind well.Basically, is the onza ronnie still the best for this? Echo rims any good?Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeersnoz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Try a DX32, Bikedock sell one which is drilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Go for a Ronnie, Hold grinds well, are strong as fook, and are wide enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Yeah i'm another vote with the ronnie. its 38mm wide so you shouldn't need a pad bodge and has held up to my sometimes hefty landings which dented the shit out of a planet x bmf (basically the same as an alex dx32) The new echo rims are supposed to be very hard to dent, but yesterday conner told me that they were supposed to go egg shaped quite easily... though i don't know how true this is.

Tom Booth Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 i am probably going to go for another ronnie vote, But i havent used many.But im on my second ronnie, and this one is no where near as strong as the first, this one dents VERY easy.But holds grinds well Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petit_pablo Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Id vote ronnie too.I run a hog rear which is wider, but ive found doesnt hold the grind for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 BMF Mines lasted a good 2 years with 20 odd grindsPlus there only £29.99 from crc now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 sun double wide drilled its the strongest rim out there that wide the only reason a rim will egg the build quality really, with a decent build a 517 would egg, as infact i used a 519 on the rear for 1.5 years and i never dented or buckled it, thats just an example of a good build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 dx32/bmf for strength/hardness/weighttryall/viz/hog/whatever for width.I haven't heard of many people having problems with dx32/bmf rims. They're becoming really popular again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
