Mr Motivator Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 At the moment I have a D521 drilled with 13mm holes and sprayed black. It looks good but the paint is starting to stratch off and im touching it up with a marker pen, and quite frankly it looks a bit messy. I thought about getting a front koxx drilled or a front viz.. but they are heavyer and weaker than my 521. mm, I'm using a disk so it could be a disk rim and idealy needs to be all black. Any ideas children? Sam :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 It's not what you wanna hear, but it needs to be said: How about you stop being a tart and use the rim you're still using, it's stronger and lighter than any other front rim out there . . . I don't run one myself but that's because of width (even though there's like 2-3 mm difference between a 521 and my Reggie), anyways, that's not the issue.

Ali C Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 if you REALLY want to get a new rim, get your self a Tioga Team dh fro chainreaction. They are 35mm wide, welded, double eyeletted and under 600g (even lighter when drilled). I have one with 22mm holes on the front and its mint, best rim out maybe oh, and its black anodised (with a white strip of paint, but that can be removed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
