BenLeacock™ Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Echo rim ? from what ive heard there strong. Or the new trialtech rims look AWSOME, everything else is a top quality so can't see the rims being anything different ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Can you post a pic of your broken rim so that we can analyse the damage. how long were your running your dob rims before they failed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Emm i dont have picture now.. ..3 weeks...and broken in natural trial..not street!..and I am smooth rider.. ..yea..i had square holes in that dob rim Thats why it broke then because you squared the holes. Squares create stress points in the corners and can lead to cracks, why do you think manufacturers have never made rims with square holes. People square the holes to make the rim lighter, you took a stupidly light rim which didnt need lightening and arnt super strong due to being light and just weakened it. If your wanting to shed weight you should be changeing other parts to get rid of the weight not making super light rims weak. Or if your doing it just because it looks cool then your stupid. Anyway if you want a super tuff rim echo rims are the strongest around but are heavyish. Tryall or trialtech are fairly light weight rims and will take a bashing but not as strong as echo.

Jason222 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 If you want something that compares in weight to the dob you had, you might want to try a try-all rim, and cut the second wall out...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
