NVWOCI WVS Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Right, cheers for all the help with choosing between the pro2 and and the king!I reckon I'm going to go for the Hope ProII now, thanks for that guys!The only thing now is me and my mate are having a dispute about which rim to build onto it?*I really like the look of the new Revell rear rims with the hexagonal hole and apparently the eyelets make them loads stronger??*My mates a bit old school and he reckons I should get a DX32*The other two options im considering are the try all and the echo!views and opinions please!Cheers sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Shoe Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) The Old School one would appear to be me, i think that based on the general perception I got from trials riders the DX32 was very strong and well recommended. Haven't talked much about the other 2 rims but as for the Revell, its a fairly new rim and have not heard if it has a good or bad reputation or even one at all so help on the Revell rim would be most handy!Personally I love the Echo, but as it it was a 2 horse race when we were debating it the other night, I will stick with the DX32.

Ash-Kennard Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 i live about 2miles from mr doney who prototyped and designed the revell rims, he uses them, they are fooking solid and seem to take really nice grinds. i personally run try-all rims, and am debating moving to the echo 07 rims as they actually are stupidly strong and i have seen first hand the abuse they take and not dying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomer Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 DX32, nice and light but not stupidly wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 DX32, nice and light but not stupidly wide.yeah, but surely a wider rim makes it harder to get pinch punctures?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 yeah, but surely a wider rim makes it harder to get pinch punctures??sometimes hard to set up pads in narrow old school frames though or un trials-specific frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Haaahahah i did laughAre you trying to split the whole of the uk trials comuinity in the process of building your bike?lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomer Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 sometimes hard to set up pads in narrow old school frames though or un trials-specific frames the dx 32 is hardley narrow though its only 4mm narrower than the tryall rims.

Jonny Shoe Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 These two posts are incredibly debatable, I never new such strong opinions on certain products had been made. I don't think he is trying to split up the trials community "Trials Dave" but who knows.... And I am glad to see that the DX32 is on top at the moment, keep going guys!

Broomer Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 i thought it was 38 and the tryalls are 47mm? making it a 9mm differenceah crap, yeah. sorry guys.im sure try all do make a rim 42mm wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 im sure try all do make a rim 42mm wide.They do indeed... just to make things more confusing for you Value for money, the DX32 is my recommendation. For strength the Echo rim wins. Try-All 47mm if you want a wide, light rim for competition-type use. Revell if you want a Try-All thats a bit stronger. Try-All 42mm if you want something a bit wider than a DX32 but still really tough!Hope that helps,Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 And I am glad to see that the DX32 is on top at the moment, keep going guys! Do itJust built up a set of DX32s onto Pro II/XC hubs myself, and they are awesomeWould definitely get this setup againDo it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Spank Oobah Stiffy 40 AlSeriously stiff rim! It's a bit heavy with 840g, but holds a grind very well (better than a DX32!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 well - unless you are a tank I wouldnt recomend the echo rear rim.....If you ride alot of natural - get something wide like i guess the tryall or the revell, if you ride street either go with the DX32 or an 07 echo front rim - seems to me to be as strong as the DX32 but its a shade lighter (and possibly a mm wider hehe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill_Monks Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 well you no you can trust the 07 Echo rims so why be silly and get any other plus i think the echo would last longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I'm in a debate to, DX32, or ECHO?? Will the Echo be to wide. With meaty pads? and i dnt wana get Tensile mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
