from Dallas, TX , Dallas Date Reviewed: February 25, 2007 Strengths: I have the RM 18's these are built to last. This rim is awsome. I am new to MTB (18 mo's) but was heavily in to BMX back in the day and no quaility. I am about 200 lbs and have taken 4 ft. drop off on to pavement. The wheel is still true. I was considering buying some Mav's for my bike because of the awsome looks and rep but can not justify the purchase as the Alex rims have impressed me that much. Weaknesses: Some what heavy as comapares to others but the added benefit of not bending under extreme pressure. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: Stock no name generics Bike Setup: Haro v3 upgraded. The only original part on the bike is the rims.
