Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Went on to tartybikes today to buy a new rear rim for my inspired to go onto my 36hole hope, only to find tarty don't seam to sell any! Have I missed some kind of 36hole hub boycott or what. Anyway anyone know of anywhere to buy such a rim or should I be looking to swap my hope for a 32hole one instead.

Skoze Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 They used to seemingly only come in 36h Rhyno Lites, Tiogas, Trialtechs, was all 36h only when i was building mine a year or so back, they are out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 You can buy Hope hub shells seperately, so you wouldn't have to get a new hub necessarily. I see what you're saying though, I guess it's just that most rear trials hubs now only come in 32h, so there's less demand - especially from trials manufacturers - to make it in anything other than 32h.

Revolver Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 You can probably get the 36h rhyno lite from chain reaction. It's not your lucky day, it's not on sale. Still, they sell em. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=26260 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I ended up with a 36h cos I but it up 2 years ago and 36h was my only choose! You can probably get the 36h rhyno lite from chain reaction. It's not your lucky day, it's not on sale.

Revolver Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 It'll be fine on the rear, they're good rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 If not I have a DX32 and an Odyssey Pro Factor 24" rim I don't need. 36h, true as anything and no dents - dx32 has had one crazy light grind but is worn pretty much smooth now.

Phatmike Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Don't forget the whole '24"' trials scene has only recently boomed - give the market a chance to catch up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I need a new rim now not in 6 months when the Market has court up! Anyway it all good now have a 32h pro 2 on the way so lets just hope in a year or so when I will no doubt need a new rim again they still make 32h rims.
