GTF Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) Spank rims are light, and bulletproof. GET ONE!EDIT: I expect that Ali C will tell you all about how good they are, and so on so I dont bother Edited December 22, 2006 by GTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) Might want to check Sun MTX For a rear disk they'd be awsome, else they'd need a a lite grind for rim brakes since there have grooves running all along the braking surface + it's painted...

Glass Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 24" rimsI run a drilled BMF (38mm) and I highly recommend it! I've had a Identity Halo (36mm) but it is easily dented. I recently came across this 47mm rims on this forum:http://www.unicycle.uk.com/shop/shopdispla...p?catalogid=883 They might be your best bet, yet! And please don't go skinny rim on us this is trials not XC! Want a 32mm rim? Run it on the front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) Can MTX be used with rim brake?Straight from the Sun Ringlé site TCB - TOTAL CONTROL BRAKING:Combines a welded rim seam with a precision machined brake surface. No visible seam on the rim gives you the ultimate in braking control. So I guess they wouldBut as I said, they don't have a grabby surface, a light grind would probably make em' damn good...If you want to see it with a bit of detailIt's 34.5mm wide, wich isn't really big compared to other rims, but it's really deep, wich I think is the way to go if you want a rim that won't buckle or get flat spotted easely. Think of it, take the widdest knife you have, you can still bend it horizontally, but it verticaly, it won't budge...

26inch Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Either a spank or a tioga dh rim. The spanks is abit wider and heavier but ive heard great cooments for both rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I'm just running a BMF at the moment. I'd say its pretty perfect width wise, I cant stand the Idea of a 48mm rim on a 24", its just way too wide. I mean, most people only run a 2.3" tyre on 24s, and I don't think there's a single 24" frame out there that will accept that width comfortably.Rhyno Lights are lush if you don't mind the narrow width. I'm not sure about the Spanks, I've heard great things about them, but I never really researched them as you can only get them in 32h, and I'm running 36 at the moment. All I know is that there the same weight as a DX32, but Ali C says there stronger.Anyway, BMF/DX32/whatever you wanna call it are lush, can take a beating, and are wide enough.

Ali C Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 no rim even comes close to matching the Spank's pure greatness!!There really is no other choice, the spank OWNES all the other rims mentioned!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I have ryhnos lites on my 24" (before I knew about spank) They are fine, but Spank rims are in another league!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
