The Duck Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Either would be fine, especially for the front. If your a tank or planning on grinding your rim - echoOtherwise try-all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Anscombe Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 try all........for the front is fine weather you grind it or not.....plus its hell of a lot lighter than a echodave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petar@sbcycles Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Echo rims are better for front and for rear.This is my opinion Edited December 21, 2007 by Diverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 indeed a opinion.......but why have so much weight on the front when u can have a try all that weighs a lot less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxxtrials Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 i think echo rims are stronger and try all are lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 i think every one knows that the echo is stronger and heavier......but for the front strength is not such an issue like the rear is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 try all on the front is more then anough strength on the front then you will need, not unless your a right basher and tend to twat it around alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Try-All rims are single wall, whilst Echo's are double wall.I chose Echo, as I'm a Deng lover and wanted to keep my components similar, also the black anodised rims match well with other black Deng components.Whereas the the Try-all rims have a lot of more variation, in colours, and the amount of spoke holes.Something to bear in mind.

jandamna Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 i think echo rims are stronger and try all are lighter*Claps*And personally, id go with a monty front rim As there stupid light, and well lets not talk about strength But yeah, although thats not a choice, go for monty.

J Trials 31 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I say go for a V!Z! They rock! They are lighter than the Echo and look better as well. I've never even ridden a Try-All before though. Where do you live?I am going to be selling a red Echo front wheel with a red disc hub and silver spokes soon.

petar@sbcycles Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) I always look at the property "mrkoxx". I said that Echo rims are stronger than try all and if i have to choice front rim i will buy Echo rim. And I again say that this is my opinion and i think that the post is for that to can we say what we thing for rear rims and for relief decision on "darren hughes".

Grant Hundley Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 dont get either of those rims.get a dob double walled, weigh about 320grams and seem to be pretty strong on stock.. so they should be on mod too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam ere luvin :Ptrials:P Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 try-all all the way, really i have had 2 try-alls and have never had problems with them and if you are running a front maggura they take quite a lot of grinds as well little sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I would get try all becouse you only really need strenth for the back wheel. lol..(unless you drop off to front wheel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
