justfuzzit Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Aight so im building up my bike and am going to run dual disc. (st-1) I had Sun MTX rims on my P.3 before this and crashed. I ripped out a spoke, but the nippe diddnt break. The eyelet tore out of the rim. I would like to continue using these rims. Do you think it would be that big of a deal to be missing a spoke on my front wheel? Maybe I will stick stronger spokes on either side of that hole and use lighter spokes throuought the rest.Is it a good or bad idea to be running an MTX in the rear? Is it too narrow?I also thought of putting another eyelet in the rim and trying it, but with an alluminum rim bent out like it is... Im not to sure about that.
