LiamWood! Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Are you looking for a pair of rims?Or just the front?You can get try-all rims with coloured sidewalls, if you are running a disc on the front it will be OK,if you a coloured rear rim and you are running a magura or vee the colour will rub off like mine did Hope i helped Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 you cant but them like that he has sprayed them whiteI believe you can, my mate bought a Try-All rim in Fluro Green and it had the sidewalls painted.Have you considering a Monty rim Baz?, They come in white too.

Andeee Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Rustys cycles have try-all rims in stock with the sidewalls painted give them a ring and they'll sort you out;) www.rustyscycles.co.uk just send them an e-mail. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 The fluro, (Painted), try-all rims have both front and rear sidewalls coloured, whereas the anodised ones have the front sidewalls coloured but the rear cleaned off.If you want anodised rims with coloured sidewalls on the rear, get echo 07, there is no real difference in strength I believe.

alex_jsy Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I would say only use painted sidewalls if you are thinking of running a disk on the wheel.I'v got a fluro pink on the rear and I used to have a real problem with my magura slipping,especially when using tar on it for sum reason. Eventually i decided to sand the paint off thesidewalls and it's made a the brake loads better!!So my advice is to use an anodised rim if you're running a rim brake and want the coloured sidewallsTake a look at the revell rims, you can get them in 36h and they're anodisedIf you're really set on getting white rims though, prepare for the paint wearing off/haveing to be sanded downhope this helps Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
