$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Unicycle.com Pinkbike.com | | Strengths: | This rim is VERY strong, and decently wide, which makes your tires much more stable feeling, especially at low pressure.
The 19" one on my Unicycle is pretty much impossible to warp, especially with 48 spokes laced 4x.
The 3 26" ones I have ridden, 1 on my old bike laced 2x with old used spokes, and the set I ride on my Norco Sasquatch laced properly 3x, have also been very strong wheels, and I never fear them coming untrue. | | Weaknesses: | Hard to find 32h 24" Or 48h in any size.
Heavy? But that kind of relates to the strength. They aren't THAT heavy, they weigh less than MAG30's and Double Tracks.
Pinned seam, not welded, which would make these rims even more awesome. | | Similar Products Used: | Countless other rims. | | Bike Setup: | Norco Sasquatch | | Bottom Line: | I recommend these rims to everyone who runs disc brakes and isn't too concerned about weight. For $25 a rim, you don't even have to be scared about breaking them if you case some gap or something. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$40.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | This is a massively strong rim. I built it and trued it myself and it has held strong every time (wtf up with that!?) They also look wicked even if they are a little heavy. Oh waahh! I definetely plan on lacin' up more of these onto all of my bikes | | Similar Products Used: | xm317s, Alex td20's bombshell fatboy, ds-1's, ds-2's, | | Bike Setup: | 2005 Mountain Cycle rumble. Dx32 up front, XM317 in back (BAD IDEA FOR DIRT JUMPERS!!) coda brakes, 2000 Manitou X-vert, and super cool SDG Bel-Air leopard skin seat
| | Bottom Line: | I reccomend this rim for any one who truly beats the heck out of their rims and is tired of always truing them | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | employee purchase | | Strengths: | These rims are VERY strong. And as an added bonus, they are very inexpensive! Did I mention they look AWESOME? | | Weaknesses: | These rims are moderately heavy. Also,they were actually too wide for me to run rim brakes with because my bosses were too close together. | | Similar Products Used: | all of em (or at least most) | | Bike Setup: | I hand built a wheelset using DMR revolvers, DT swiss spokes and DX32 26" rims. I sold them to a buddy and they now live a a transition trail-or-park. | | Bottom Line: | These rims are the best free-ride/urban rims you can buy for the money. When built well, they will remain true for a long time. After many bad landings, wall-rides-gone-wrong, and flat-to-flat jumps, these rims have remained perfectly true. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
