mooresy Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 hi all i posted a topic a while back about me foldin a front koxx rim and now i am looking for a replacement. I am woundering weather or not to get a onza ronnie rim for the front or a reggie but in my own opinion i think that the reggies are to small and the ronnies are about 2mm wider than the koxx front rims .Please help me choose cause im in 2 minds thanks mooresy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 if your running a disc then just get a mavic d521/ex729 and ur sorted, otherwise an echo or another try all rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooresy Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 i wanted to try an onza rim and then use nitromorse to strip the paint and get it in silver and i dont like the koxx rims becasue they are very weak and i go to front wheel alot mooresy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexxx Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 would suggest the ex729 nice wide disc only mavic, and you can always drill it out if you want. But if your looking at the onza's then personally i would get the ronnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Porter Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 i have had my front echo rim for around 3 months now and i havent had to touch it once and its as still true as you like and i dont go easy on my wheels either. www.Selectbikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are annosized. 2nd thing, a ronnie on the front will be HEAFTY! Iv had a drilled D521 on the front and that was pretty good, then I got an echo but never really liked how it looked so now I'm about to order a Sun Singletrack and drill it :lol: Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tipsy Jock Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I've had a 519 on the front of my bike for 2 years now :) has been trued maybe twice? lol perhaps 3 times. Echo rim would be my next choice methinks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use caustic soda to get the anodize off :lol: Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Any ideas if a Koxx front rim ( 26") would be suitable for use on the rear ? I ask because there's no way I could set up a V-Brake on a super wide rim , and would ride it fairly lightly . Apologies for thread hijack .
