Jake. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I have the echo tr rear rim, it's drilled and is double walled. It's good for grinds, and smooth rim also. It's held up to my riding well and I've not managed to give it a proper dent yet. I'm a very heavy lander too, so your 180 degree sideways gaps or whatever you call them should be fine with it.Sure it has holes in it but it's a small price to pay imo.

LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ok. I'm not clued up on trials rims. I'm obviously looking at the wrong ones. Can someone link me to where i can buy these rims? Must be 43mm max Must be double wall Looks like it's gonna have to be drilled. I remember I had a trialtech drilled rim on the back years ago. That seemed decent.

Jake. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 The echo tr rim is 44mm... If you are able to go that extra mil further it's worth getting. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_rear_rims/echo_tr_rear_26_inch/c25p10715.html Just noticed this inspired team rim at 36mm, found it in the front rims section though. Widest I can find in terms of "streety" rims. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_front_rims/inspired_team_26_inch/c518p11488.html Hope that helps dude.

AdamR28 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Must be 43mm max Must be double wall What's minimum width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 cheers. the inspired is as wide as What I've got but the echo could work. it'd push my brake clearance to the limit though and I might even have to trim the pads. Just need to check how far out my slaves are gonna stick. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 What's minimum width? I'd say 40mm but I'll consider good rims from 38. It's partly I'd like wider, and partly I don't really like the Dmr rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hmm. Pretty tight set of requirements... I would go with an undrilled DX32 / Phatso / Full Fat / etc personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah I can't find a good DX32/Phatso in 32h without a grind so it looks like it's gonna have to be something modern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 He was yes. I sent him 2 or 3 messages about it. When I first messaged him saying I'll take it he said he'd rather send me pics first. so I said ok, never got any pics. Then I read he might be at Radfest so I messaged again and suggested getting it there. No answer. He's been posting on here since so I give up.

dann2707 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Out of interest what's wrong with getting a ground rim and smoothing it smooth? Is it because the sidewalls are weaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah. I'm heavy, I dent things. so I want all the rim there. Plus I want a black brake surface if possible. Looks like echo, onza or trialtech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like echo, onza or trialtech. Honestly get an echo, they are so strong, and the braking surface is insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Spank stuffy, 40mm wide, not drilled, stiffest rim I've ever used......perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsbikingnunn Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) why not get the TR and get some tensile offset brake clamps to maximise pad clearance? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/brake_clamps/tensile_offset_magura_mounts/c74p10030.html Edited August 6, 2013 by trialsbikingnunn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Right I'm on my phone so i can't browse very efficiently. Am I missing something with these TR rims? Tartybikes says they're single wall, are you talking about older double wall models? Ali those rims would be a dream if they had a braking surface! All their rims are disc only aren't they?

casualjoe Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Stiffy AL40s are great, but for a rim brake, only the 2010 model because the new ones have rounded sidewalls which would just be weird. I've contacted spank and luckily, they have a few of the 2010s kicking about. Be prepared to wait ages for shipping though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Really? I'd have those front and rear! any idea on the wait/ postage deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 What you need is a set of echo sl slaves, and offset clamps. The echo slaves are a good 5mm narrower than standard Magura ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I have tensile offset clamps I can sell you. Although I saw somewhere they aren't meant to work because the slave bottoms out on the clamp? Think that doesn't matter if you want it wider though.

LEON Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Na it's ok I'm gonna stick with normal clamps & stay under 43mm. If I can get these Spank rims they'll be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Spank stiffys have flat sidewalls, but even the disc specific spank rims only have a mellow curve and are fine with rim brakes, i ran the spank spikes with a rim brake for a year with zero issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
