    Favorite Trail:Frame Lake
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $50.00
    Purchased At:lbs
    Strengths:massively strong; considering the strength, pretty damn light; wide if you like that sort of thing; and not expensive.
    Weaknesses:not very sexy
    Similar Products Used:D321; D521 and ex721; MTX; singletrack; and rhynolite
    Bike Setup:street: Azonic steelhead; ENO rear hub + DX32
    trials: Echo Hifi; CK rear hub + DX32
    FR: Intense Uzzi; formula + DX32 as a spare
    Bottom Line:It may not look flashy but this is one strong rim that doesn't actually weigh very much. Note that I weigh 220 lbs.

    Perfect for casing jumps and missing 180s on concrete. Pretty much the standard rear trials rim for a reason.

    Because it's not flashy means that it's not expensive either = high value.

    Submitted by Dan a Weekend Warrior from Hamilton, ON, Canada
    Date Reviewed: April 6, 2008
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $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.

    Favorite Trail:gypsy at northstar even though its in Cali
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $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

    Submitted by Jake a Weekend Warrior from Pawcatuck, CT, USA
    Date Reviewed: January 27, 2008
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $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.
