Shaun H Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I imagine it's somewhat sponsor dependant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I was thinking as much..But doesn't Tunni use a Chris King rear hub rather than a ZOO! one? So the 'sponsorship' may not be such a big issue when it comes to certain components anymore..Big difference between trusting a rim and trusting a hub. Far less at risk with a rim breakage.

Mr_Pitbull Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 ZOO! Rims.......doesnt matter about sponsor, Gaz is sponsored bt BTC but he still wears a Tartybikes T-shirt. I love Gaz M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Yeah, the new Zoo! rims are supposed to be pretty damn strong. I'd suggest one of those.But, when you say you haven't seen any of the aforementioned riders (in the topic title) smash a rim, then i suggest you watch Neil's bail video ...Cheers,Joe.

Davetrials Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 i found the strongest rim ive ever used was my sun mamoth rim although old skool echo rims were strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 my new fave rim is the Spank ooobah stiffy rim.40 mm wide, hard alloy, patented stuff which means its the stiffest rim out or somthing, its also 25mm deep which should reduce flat spots.

Zoo_Monkey Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 onza hog are pretty strong, koxx are good to but have thinner side walls - depends if you grind them see if i had a new set of rims it would be echo 07 jobbies, probably in green but that makes no difference to the strength im told. iv yet to kill a d521 but they are abit old school and not to stable in comparison the the new oober wide rims avalableto be honest how long a rim lasts depends on the rider if you are a 15 stone beast and ride like a cast iron cow you will probably be hard pushed to find a rim to last you afew months on the otherhand if you are a stick parading as a trials rider it takes alot of abuse to kill any rims.
