Cnc'd. But also make them 47mm wide (Y).

Perfect. Or make them in both widths for different people :)

Also, 32 and 36 hole for Profile users :)

Danny.

have to remember, their his own rims... its going to be a lot or trouble to make all these different versions

i reckon 38mm front rim (if its double walled) will be loverly on the back...

and 48mm for the wide rim lovers

tell dan that.. im not making them ;)

he'll probably say the same, its a lot of trouble

he'll get the business though. Profile users will eb pissed if eh doesn;t do them in 36 hole an all.

The amoutn of people that wanted to run a profile on these rims was un-real.

Danny.

P.s - Dont piss about with the weight Dan. Just make them strong.

im running a 32h rim on 36h hub :)

new poll, make them out of magnesium or not?

so you could have the rims weighing 700 grams (for stock...) and be stupidly strong

Make them in all funky colours as well like Deng has (Y) Would look the nuts :)

ewwww

Same width as the old ones?

Too thin, you need your tpa all the way in too be able have your brake feeling decent on thin rims when you have a frame like a python etc.

Danny.

i dont think you understood, magnesium weighs loads less than alluminium.. so make the rims out of magnesium but to the same weight as current rims = stupidly strong rims.

Magnesium is nowhere near as strong as the material used on the echo 07 rims though.

Nope. These weight freaks piss me right off. Get some mucle's and stop been a faggot.

Danny.

You're the one being a faggot.

Get some brain cells and think about it. (Y)

EDIT: Not sure if I'm remembering right but don't think the Echo rims were actually CNCd. Bit rough.

Either way still did the job. Will talk to you about it later Dan, engineer's point of view. ;)

well dx32's are that width and they are fine...

thats irrelevent, kobikes is not echo bikes. i would prefer lighter rims which are still really strong then a heavy rim of the same strength.

look at the DOB rims, they are awesome

personally i think 48mm wide is pointless...

I ran a 38mm on my XTP and when the pads got to a certain level of wear I couldn't use my brake anymore, so had to buy new pads, so it's not really pointless.

thats better :):P

whys it say total votes are 46 but theres 9 for drilled and 39 for cnc'd :S

Thats because you set it up so you can choose both options instead of just one, so people did that just to f**k with your poll.
