lee220 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Seeing as their has been quite a few topics on which is the best rim for mods i've written this review about most of the mod rims you can buy. 1) rim: echo 06 This rim isn't one of the strongest rims on the trials market but it looks good which is a very good advantage but if your looking for strength I wouldn't go for it, plus another disadvantage is that it only comes in 32 hole which is a bit annoying. however the colour choice is good. also holds grinds good too. Link : echo rim 2) once ronnie This rim is a weird one some people say its great and some say its rubbish. personally i think the reason why some say its not very strong is because of the massive sidewalls this is why after a few grinds you get loads of dents and cracks around the edge. Plus its not one of the best looking rims you can buy as you can only get it in one colour. Link: ronnie rim 3) tryall The tryall rim is probably the most popular rim and the best, this is because you can get it in almost any colour and you can get it in either 32 or 36 hole which is good as different hubs have different amounts of spokes. plus it holds grinds really well. and the strength is unbeatable well unless your a really rough rider. Link : tryall rim 4) Alex dx32 This rim is the strongest rim out of them all but the look of it is the biggest let down as you can only get it in black without being drilled . But you can get in different sizes e.g 32 36 which is a good advantage. link: dx32 rim so overall after using all of these rims i recommend the tryall simply because its got all you want out of a rim, strength, colour and size.

basher Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 im sorry but i disagree alex dx32's are the worst mod rims ever, they dent incrediably easy. also i believe and have been told try all rims dont hold grinds very well and aren't very strong. sorry to be nit picking, but the review other wise was good and im sure has helped many people.

Jeff Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I consider a rim DX as 32 strong rim, he to me has served 2 years Tryall I consider as a bad rim, I have broken it for 3 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I've ground mine about 12 times already ffs, holds grinds amazingly, If it holds grinds well why have you ground it 12 times? surely it wouldn't need many if it held them well?

Mat Smith! Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 If it holds grinds well why have you ground it 12 times? surely it wouldn't need many if it held them well?Lots of different pads, paint stripper, spray paint etc.And it wasn't like I was running plaz or anything.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Worst review ever, you've just listed a few rims, and stated if they are coloured, how many spoke holes they have, if they are drilled, along with a general statement....gayness from uranus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt! Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) firstly i have own to of those rim a alex dx32 and a onza ronnie rim, the dirst rim i ran out of the two was a alex dx32 and what a rim it was, lasted about 7 decnt grinds, but i started getting better and doing drop gaps etc and started to dent it, but when i pulled the dints back out about 4 of them craked so this resulted in me buying a onza ronnie rim, the rim was fine until i hit the third grind, it may just be my luck but i was doing a gap a landed on the joint of the rim and folded it a 90`degree angle into my tyre, went to bent it out when arrived at home and it snapped of so no i have a hole on my rim, thankfully in gose no lower than the metal bit inside the tyre here is a pic but it bit rubbish because it off my webcam, digital camera has no battery, but you can still tell my ronnie rim has been abused......here but on a personal note both of the rims where amazing because there vitually the same and there strong, but next time iam not even going to grind my rim, smooth rim with zoo pads all the way..matt!

Walleee Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) How anyone can dent rims, try and bend them back, crack the sidewalls, and still say they are amazing is beyond me. Edited September 2, 2006 by jake1516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onza Kieron Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 How dare you all, DX32, BMF or Fatso are all the best (theyre rebranded versions) Nothing comes close, if you kill one easy your either extra extra good, damn harsh on your bike or run flat tyres.

I was only giving my opinion which is what the forum is all about. don't go and try and rip someone to shreads just because they disagree with you.i am sorry all to go off topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt! Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 How anyone can dent rims, try and bend them back, crack the sidewalls, and still say they are amazing is beyond me.when you get to you 5th-6th grind you understand, lol the flatspots and dents get that big when they fold they crack also, and when you bend them back ot the jst crack even more unless you run 40 psi of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Kris Holm.I've found it to be a very good rim. Bought from Unicycle.com (Whatever the German one is) And it came extremely quick. Even got a little bag of sweets. I had an Onza Ronnie before I got my kris Holm, and that dented really easily, and it cracked on a dent. - kTyre kept falling off, got annoying.The Kris Holm is slightly wider than the Ronnie, which is fine for my Zona Zip. 36h too. Unlike the Echo rims.I built it onto my Profile and all is good. (Super right spokes ***)It's had a fair few hard knocks on edges etc, and no dent as of yet.
