sammerz Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Anyone have any good suggestions on a new rear 19" rim????I'm running a Koxx rim at the moment and it has about 20 dents, 13 of those on one side I really don't care on what rim it is....but something strong and fairly cheap if possible! >>Sam<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Gardner Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) i had a try-all i dont really like them, didnt hold grinds very well and were not very strong, i have just order a onza ronnie(£30) so hopefully should be a bit better, but yeah i have heard alex dx32(£23) and kris holm(£22) are v. good Edited May 24, 2006 by gawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira_Shock! Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 As Joe Elding said.. Kris Holm rim. to be honest, the KH rim is the strongest out there. I'm currently British Unicycle Trials Champion 2006, and I've broken ALOT of rims in my time. Destroyed Koxx rims, Onza rims, and even flatspotted a DX32 very horribly. But the KH rim is holding up and has been for longer than any rim I have ever used. It's also the cheapest and lightest too. We weighed one up against a Koxx rim and it was lighter regardless of being undrilled and eyeletted.Since its a unicycle trials 19" rim its gonna be ultra strong. its 36hole so its an ideal accompaniment with a Profile hub. We unicycle trials riders have managed to convince Joe Elding that its the best. You better believe it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
