mad_gavo Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Getting back into trials after a little break. Last time I looked at bike components was when I brought my new frame. Which was when the adamant frames first came out so that must have been a fair while ago Anyway I am in need of a new rear rim and some new rear HS33 pads. Currently have a DX32 rim (only one I know that is 36 hole lol ) and heatsink blue pads. Whats currently considered good??? needs to be 36 hole, not fussed about weight really. Fire away And pads what to go for? Usually have a grind on the rim Thanks Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Keep the DX32, they're awesome! Bombproof! As to the pads, rock blues seem to be a very popular choice with people who grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_gavo Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Try-All rims are pretty good, can get them in 36h. Had a tryall back in the day when I had a levelboss. They changed them at all? The one I had wasnt all that. Was a bit too wide for the frame when I moved to the adamant and the metal seemed soft as it didnt like holding grinds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_gavo Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Looks like they come in a thinner width now too after having a look so could still be in with a shout. What about onza ronnies? I like the idea of a deeper sidewall for setting up the rear pads on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all of the input so far There not bad, don't last long if you grind, 4-5 grinds MAX, and a grind on the dont last anymore that 3 weeks! Echo 2007 rims are awesome. on my second, only reason mine died because was a crap wheel built opnly very slight egg, could have been sorted with a tighten of the spokes like!!. The front one died because my mum ran over it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_gavo Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Might just stick with the DX32 as I know they are fairly good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
