I use one, I am VERY impressed!!

same weight as a try-all rim, but undrilled. Stiffest rim out I recken, I havnt had to true it since building it last month. Its 25mm deep, so flat spots are going to be a lot harder to do. Its tough alloy, so it holds grinds well and I havnt managed to dent it yet (even when riding rocks with a puncture!)

REALLY good rims

ali c have you got any vids/pics etc of the rim in use because i am tempted by this rim if i build a new rear wheel.

what is it like compared to the onza ronnie rim??? ( i asy this because i have one, this way i will be able to tell if it is worth getting)

does it hold huge down gaps/drops etc well? is the standard smoothness of the rim good? (i don't want a grind) will it last a long time?

this is the rim for those that don't know;

( i just tested the link out..... you need to go down to 'rims' and it is the top one!!, it don't link directly to the rim)

does any where else sell them??

fukk sake they stopped doing the green 1's that suxx!!!!!!

cheers

my bike

theres some pics.

Smoothness was ok, there was a slight difference at the join, but I have seen a lot worse.

is possibly the best rim out, way better than a ronnie, it has held up to my gaps and drops and gap drops no probs, I think its possibly the best rim out for not flat spotting.
