Description:Whether you are racing, touring or commuting in winter a large footprint from from your tire is very important. A wide light weight rim is the way to get that footprint whether you ride a 1.9 or 2.3 inch tire.The Icycle Rim is 45 mm wide and has a braking surface. You can ride pressures as low as 5 pounds.

Date Reviewed: January 21, 2006 | | Favorite Trail: | lake ice | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Price Paid: |
$79.00 | | Purchased At: | Rossi Cycle | | Strengths: | A great winter riding rim. Widens the tire profile for a huge footprint. Help grip on snow and ice. Works even better with studded tires. | | Weaknesses: | None. | | Similar Products Used: | SnoCats which were much weaker and bent. | | Bike Setup: | Greased up (rustproofed) 21 speed mtb rigid frame. | | Bottom Line: | I think the are no longer made, but if you find some lying around a shop as I did these are probaly the best winter rims made. SnoCats should get a hold of one an copy it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 20, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | 140 | | Strengths: | This should be a great winter rim. The welded rims were certainly good for those who actually received them.
Wide rims on packed snow are definitely the way to ride in the winter. | | Weaknesses: | I ordered the icycle zum rim around october of 2001, in february of 2002 they finally sent me the wrong rims. The order clearly said that I was getting Icycle zum rims with a braking surface. What I got were welded rims with coated braking surface. The company then told me that they had simply sent me the wrong rims as a temporary substitute untill they could send me the real rims. The real rims would be shipped shortly. I sanded in my own braking surfaces and have been using the welded rims.
I still haven't gotten the real rims. (1 year later) Their e-mail appears to be disconnected.
The customer service from this company leaves lots to be desired. I would like to get the rims some day though. (since I paid for them) | | Similar Products Used: | Snowcats from All Weather Sports. Remolino sand rims (88mm wide!) | | Bike Setup: | rigid mtb with Surly fork to fit larger tires with wide rims. | | Bottom Line: | Nice rims if you can get them. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
