Guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 well basically i am going to build up a better wheel because my onza hub sucks.i am going to get a GU fixed hub and i was wondering wether it is worth spending another £35 on a try all rim, because i already have drilled rims on my t comp so i was going to build it to that. i am also hard up for cash so i only want to get the rim if it makes a big weight difference.if i do buy the rim then i will get a wheel build from tarty which i have worked out that it will cost me £130, so is it really worth building it with a rim from tarty or keeping my rim and getting my local bike shop to build it for £10please advise me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid creole Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) I say keep the rim you have if it's in good working order but you still might need new spokes cos you need different sizes for different rim , hub combinations , also build it yourself its really easy.

ilikeriding Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 My mates try all rims dent like cheese, Id just get it done by your bikeshop, that is if you think theyll do a decent build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanC Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I advise to build the wheel yourself. In the long term you will save money and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 The echo rim is alot stronger than tryall so id get that , but if you dont brake rims alot then just get tryall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 i dont know what the "h" means at the end of 32h and 36h but im guessing it has something to do with spokes and i counted 32 so can anyone add to that please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 h means holes, i.e. spokes, so you were right.you'll need a hub with the same number of holes as the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 ok cheerz mate, so a GU hub should fit my onza skim rim, but if i get a bit more cash in the next few weeks i will just get a rim aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 First of all oh my god your bothered about which is ligther try all or onza, why there will be grams difference stop being a weight weenie and think practical you will proberly shit more in weight each day than the difference between the rims. less weight won't make you better rider. Now i said that, building your own wheel is always a good thing to be able to do as it saves you alot of money in long run and can save you time sometimes as bike shops may not be able to do it striaght away due to other things they have to get done. The building side ( ie lacing the spokes on to the rim) is pritty easy but the trueing and tensioning of the spokes isn't all that easy as pie like it may look. If you have never trued your old wheel before ect and dont really no what your doing then id leave it till you have a bit more experience but if you have confidence you can do it and no what you need to do then have a go. Otherwise get a bike shop to do it. As for whether or not to keep your rim i say why not if theres nothing wrong with it why change it, if you do wont to take a few grams off the weight then get a drill and drill it (if its a non drilled rim already).

Guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 its already drilled, can anyone confirm that an onza skim rim drilled will fit a 32h GU hub, i counted 32 spokes so it should fit right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
