niconj Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hello, since I'm planning on building a new rear wheel I was wondering whether I could use a front rim (Echo TR for ex.) on the back? The reason is that I am running a Maxxis Highroller and don't know whether it would fit my Because Simple on the rear when mounting a 47mm rim. Currently I am running a Spank Stiffy which is 40mm. What do you recon? Would an Echo TR 39mm be stiff enough on the rear? I weigh around 80kg. Thanks, Nico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 A standard rear tr rim should fit with no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) A standard rear tr rim should fit with no problems Hm... if that is so, are there any differences between an Neon Single Wall 47mm and a Trialtech Single Wall 47mm rear rim performance wise?

dezmtber Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't know if this helps i am running a viz rear singlewall with holyroller and for mud a schwalbe fat albert on the ozonys kod, they fit with no clearance issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hm... if that is so, are there any differences between an Neon Single Wall 47mm and a Trialtech Single Wall 47mm rear rim performance wise? Heard the neons don't hold a grind for shit and brad johnsons was machined really badly, there was one point where like 1mm of material was left between 2 cutouts. Trialtech rims seem pretty decent.

niconj Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Trialtech rims seem pretty decent. Any experience with Because rims? Does the different hole size matter for stability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I ran some because rims on my 24 comp bike, hold a grind like a beast. I'd definitely recommend one. Also the holes won't make any difference to stability so may as well go for the bigger ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 If youre thinking double wall get a tr. Not sure what you mean by hole sizing, do you mean drill/cutouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 The because rims come with either 18 or 25mm holes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm looking for a rather light but strong wheel. I was thinking of using DT Comp spokes, an Echo TR hub and a rim; just don't know which one yet. I don't care if it's single or double walled, as long as it holds up to my non-trial skills. I ran some Why don't you anymore?

Blake Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 if you're after light with no real strength get what's as light as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) if you're after light with no real strength get what's as light as possible Quite the contrary. It has to be strong for I'm strong (not as a rider but I have some strength in my legs). Edited February 17, 2014 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
