Fish-Finger-er Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 its 34 mm wide, and rim brake compatible, but its narrow width doesnt make it ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadChikken Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Lol Dave you beat me to askin about this rim, I was mulling over it the other day, tryin to decide what to get as a new back wheel. Have a Sun Mammoth on mine at the moment and its a beast, just a bit old and tired now. Probly end up going for the same again as the King Pin doesnt sound quite so promising now M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Comes in chrome though, better braking and looks bling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-A Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Nah Dan chrome isn't worth it. I've had 2 chrome rims now and I can conclude that its not right for trials. In my experiance its useless in the wet, so not great to have on your bike during winter and in the hot weather it becomes inconsistant, so not great for summer. When I had spanish fly pads on chrome and right conditions etc the brake was unbelieveable, but most of the time it didn't lock and hold well enuogh for trials.

Dan Clark Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Damn, I thought it would pass over what with it beign so successful in bmx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Black rims for bmx are good, like the Odyssey 7KA rim, its powdercoated I believe an gives a nice braking surface and it works in the wet for some reason aswell (does on mine anyway).Chrome rims are shite, I had a midway, and after around a 4 days with a brake the chrome began to bubble an f**ked the rim.
