old_man_dan Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 ECHO urban rims are good its not so much the rim that makes a strong wheel its the quality of the build u can get a great rim built by a poor wheel builder and the wheel will be crap and vice versa finding a good wheelbuilder is a must but as a rule echo urban rims are genrally quite strong and hold a grind pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Does it need to be Mod or Stock? Maggy or Disc? 32 or 36? What colour do you want? How much can you spend?The 07/08 Echos seems really good at holding grinds and they're really strong, but I don't know how wide they are or whether they come in 32 and/or 36.I've got a Monty TI on my Mod and it's been great for the past 9 months or so, I'm not that heavy on my bike though. I've also had an Atomz on my Stock since I bought it in August, it's really good, really stiff for a disc wheel, I've never used a Maggy on it though so I don't how well it holds grinds.

shamus Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) I've got an echo 08 out back of my stock, seems pretty good.Yes definately wheel build quality is what sets a strong wheel apart from a weak wheel. more then anything else.Having said that my grind has only lasted a week or two and it was a tarty one guess my grinder will get some more useoh and they defiantely come in 32h in any colour but 36h is black only. and its 46mm.
