Will Arnold Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) Nope, when everyone used to run Mavic rims, these rims were referred to as cheese rims. I think Tarty started that saying, not sure. Rossi. ← in that case, koxx rims must be butter (Y) Edited August 10, 2005 by WILL ARNOLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I don't understand why people think a rim should be indestructable, you ride trials, you ride off roofs and do gaps to rails and land on corners on one sidewall, you have to expect damage, Ive seen daves other rims and they are all smashed to bits, so he uses and echo rim and says it's rubbish, his other rims are square, if you awnt a rim to be strong buy a steel rim, that will be better, a light aluminium rim will tend to bend and dent quite easilly especially once ground.

Doesnt it depend on the rider, some people say the rims are good when some say they are not, but i bet if you look at all there other rims they will be smashed, again, dave is a great example. Phil.

Freddie Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I have always wondered whether Mavic would consider making a trials rim if everybody got in contact to show their approval. A mavic trials rim would simply have to kick ass. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
