bEavoLa Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 street and jump rims are notorious for being strong (with some weight issues - but then an Onza Ronnie weighs a tonne too!). so what might be the problems with using any of the following rims on the back of a trials rig that'll be used for 99% urban riding?Halo Combat MultiDMR DeeVeeAtomLab GI Dirti'm more interested in building a durable wheel than being obsessed with weight. granted, i've not seen anybodys trials rigs with any of the above rims - but is that because it's not considered 'cool', not considered 'trials' (neither of which i care about) or is it because of potential faliure problems?(apologies for YET ANOTHER rear rim question :$ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'm using a Sunn Ditchwitch, I've rammed it really, really hard onto pointy things loads of times and it hasnt dented or even gone out of true once! It's the same width as the 521 i think, 28mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
