from Santa Rosa Ca. USA Date Reviewed: November 24, 2004 Strengths: The strengths of these wheels lies in the fact they are heavy and made for young bucks who like to fly off of stuff. These rims are overkill for me. I ride X- country and I keep my wheels on the ground. Weaknesses: The looks. I was in the market for a wider rim (not taller)to upgrade my bike and I listened to the salesman tell me how tuff these wheels were. Word of caution, never (if You can) purchase somthing unless you can see it in person.The other weakness is that these rims DO NOT work well with V- brakes. the sides should be machined. The squeeling brakes is the main reason I am dumping These rims. On the trail I never had to yell on your left! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Richardson Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $55.00 Purchased At: Cambria Bicycle Emporium Similar Products Used: none Bike Setup: Stock 1997 Fisher Hoo-koo-e-koo

from Essex Date Reviewed: August 7, 2004 Strengths: It is strong in the sense it wont bend in half Weaknesses: easy to flat sidewalls. within one week of riding in alps i had over 10 flat spots on the rim running 30+psi. I also had 10+ pinch flats in space of two weeks running these rims. Others i rode with ran same tyres and mavic rims and got maybe one flat over the same two week period. They crack where they are pinned together. Do not stay true for long Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: mavic 321, 521, trail pimps Bike Setup: 2004 medium v10, dorado dh, chris king, xtr, raceface, hope

from Dallas, TX, USA Date Reviewed: April 28, 2004 Strengths: These look sweet! Pretty strong Not nearly as heavy as the Trail Pimps Extra wide for those of us who like fat tires Did I mention they're gorgeous? Weaknesses: Not as strong as the DHR's or the Trail Pimps ('pimps are indestructable...) The sidewall conducts heat very poorly, resulting in melted brake shoes. If you ride rim brakes, get a pair of Sun Mammoths. A little bit heavy, flat spots are possible, but not probable as long as you don't totally over do it. I wouldn't drop them off of more than about 5 feet to flat. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything that points down or has air Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $52.00 Purchased At: go-ride Similar Products Used: Sun Mammoth (new setup on the way -- thanks to unrealcycles.com), Araya 820 (the arayas were the biggest mistake of my life, but I was broke), Atomic DHR and Trailpimp, Planet X BFR, Halo Combat SAS Bike Setup: Gack TrailMod, Manitou Dorado SC, Hadley 20mm front/SS rear hubs, Sun Mammoth Rims, IRC Kujo DH, Chris King NoThreadSet, Profile Pro Crankset, Profile XXL BMX Stem, Profile Imperial Chainring, Primo Super Tenderizer Pedals, Poverty Sofa Seat/Post, Magura HS-33 Brakes

from Sweden Date Reviewed: January 20, 2004 Strengths: These are almost overkill for street/urban. Though as Hell. They can take anything beating that you can offer as long as you keep some air in you tubes. I have even head of DH's that have finished a whole DH-section with a flat tire, and the rims pulled it trough. The best looking rim out there. Weaknesses: I can't find any weakness. Perhaps a bit heavy.

Do their work..(for a limited time Weaknesses: The Atom labs slogan is tough as hell..I don't agree, I think that the seams should be welded becausa my rear aircorp ream just started to open there. The fron one staied true for 2 weeks, after a dirt jump crash it just turned untrue and impossible to completly fix it Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Forninho BMX track Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: Skillbikes.com Similar Products Used: Mavics, ritchey, I'm turning to double tracks Bike Setup: .243 racing, dj1 24-seven
