CBProductions Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 (edited) Ok well having just been riding today I have put a fold in my rim and it's time to get a new one. Although my friend changed to the new echo rim and couldn't fit it in with his pads. [attachmentid=4440] So i'm looking for a tough rim , good with grinds and good with green cousts please? Don't say use the search as I have and it revealed nothing to help. Cheers in Advance Craig Edited May 7, 2006 by CBProductions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Kris holm, Only £22 and 6 mil thinner than an echo rim, and heaps stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 echo rim would work with your setup, but my cousts in cnc didn't work very well with an echo rim, gosh knows why.maybe kris holm? similar material to the koxx your running now, so if that works grind wise, then go for a kris holm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 The koxx rim had the noise and initial bite but no hold and just seemed to go out of true all the time , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I hope that wasn't aimed at me as I'm asking for recommendations as I've never really had that many rims and also need to watch the width on it and also find one that is suitable for a nice grind and cousts.

squince Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Is that the only dent? if so, you dont need a new rim, may as well use it till the bitter end Till its like a 50p, or just bend it out cheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 It's an actual fold and is on the seam of the rim so I'd rather just replace it now while I've got the time an money to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get hold of an aluminium welder, just bend out that part, cut a piece of aluminium to fit behind it, and try that?? Should save you some dosh if it worksAlun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 (edited) I have no welder , I have no access to one and I also think that a new one will be more efficent.Oh and Will I thought you had trouble running your new echo one ?
