ilikeriding Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) Erm I don't think they have changed since the last 5 topics you posted about them. For gods sake make your mind up! You wont be validated any quicker by posting things that really belong in the random small questions thread.

tomtrials Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 there not the same one is 5 mm wider haha but yeh they both look similar just one is wider to be honest you should be bothered about the way they look its how strong the rim is and the smaller rim will increase the sidewall of the tyre you put on so there will be more spring to it. On the wider rim there will be less but will decrease the amount of folding when going onto certain objects.hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of people may have them but that because half the riders now go off looks when they are buying something and what colours you can get it in. So you grow up and stop talking rubbish.

Mike W Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 my try-all rear rim has been fine and i have hit it pretty hard.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 meh depends i snapped my try-all first go out... but that was on a spin so maybe that effected it? on an echo now ill review it later but its already outlived my tryall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Limburn Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 my try-alls have only died due to too many grinds. my last one lasted me about a year before we decided to deliberately finish it off...they rae good rims, and i know people bum the new echo rims, and i will probably get one myself nextso i dont really care, its just stupid how people slag off koxx rims when they are actually a very good product!

Grant H Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 deffo agree tom.......people do slag them off..........look at the best riders in the world.......i think you will find most run tryalls....... mostly natty riders because try-alls are lighter and they can afford to put a new rim on every comp...look at neil tunnicliffe, does some of the biggest stuff around and i wonder why he chooses echo rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 yeah grant ok fair enough...........but i know that koxx/tryall rims are not cheese i run them.......2 rims a year........meh not bad........i would try the echos out but the rear only comes as 32 hole drillings.........so il never know if they are any good.............tryall have not let me down so far and my grind stays verry sharp for at least a month.dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse_reaper666 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 They were made smaller to fit better in frames like the BT because if you had very wide rims and very straight crank arms like the middleburns they catch on the brake cylinders. So they make them so there still wide and strong but at the ame time you can still use cranks like middleburn's. Plus the strength of a rim depends on the rider. If he/she is landing hard all the time and doesnt cheak the spokes or for cracks or grinded it too meany times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
