Thom Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Was wondering if the mavic D321/EX729 could be used as a rear rim.....so I searched and found a whole topic about it. Pics were posted by todge of his setup but they seemed to have been deleted. So if any one has those pics or have pics of their own setup of the rim with a rear brake that would be great. Also if any one has any info please share. On a side note, do mavic make the EX721 in black now ? the picture seems to be of a black colour link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp101 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Predominantly disc rims... You could try... But, I dunno, how well it would work.. Do you have it purchased already? Or are looking to buy one? If you haven't bought one yet, I recommend an Alex Supra-E rim, lots of sidewall for braking, and it'll last, even though its a bit hefty.

cp101 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) most people in trials when referring to a rear brake, are referring to rim brakes.. I may be a newcomer to trials, but, I learned that most trials riders use rear rim brakes. So it is rather safe to assume.

CAN'T YOU READ????!!...I felt like being a dickshit willy for a second.. Anyways... If DISC; Yes, they don't make rear specific rims, atleast, I don't think they do... they might say "be better for the rear/front rim" or something like that, but there's nothing that can stop a person from putting it on a back wheel... Other than reading others' opinions too much.. Edited October 2, 2005 by cp101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
