Drilled Rims suck?!
I now ride on a LM rim, but never had a problem with the KK drilled rim, even after countless big drops, many to flat. It just didn't have the width I wanted, and didn't feel as stable as the LM. But then again, the LM is incomparable, and once you go LM, nothing else will do! -- MuniAddict 'My new Website! Thanks UTV!'

A quick google search brought up 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/5es4xf) site, which seems to be the lowest of the three I saw. They also offer a price match, so if you find it cheaper, they will match it. I've ordered from them before and been pretty satisfied. -- MuniAddict 'My new Website! Thanks UTV!'

Jim wrote: I don't believe the Nimbus 24 and 26 inch rim both weigh 790g (27.9ounces), the 24 inch must be lighter. jim Thats correct. The weight he gave was for the 26" because the 24" Nimbus rim is just an unbranded KH freeride rim so the weights would be equal. UDC has an error on the weight, surprise! I didn't think Maestro was being out of line. UDC UK doesn't have the Nimbus 24" rim listed but they do have the 26". I guarantee that what happened was UDC US just copied and pasted the specs of the Nimbus 26" rim from the UDC UK site to their own site and rather than writing up a whole new page for the 24" version they just copied their Nimbus 26" specs and changed wherever "26" was mentioned to "24" and removed the ERD since whoever wrote it didn't know what it was but neglected to change the weight. -- Brian O. *'ProjectUNI' (http://www.projectuni.com) - *The First Serious Unicycle Computer Game* - -ProjectUNI update available 'here!'

MuniAddict wrote: Doesn't have to be solid to be strong! Nobody said that non solid objects can't be strong. Design is more important. However, if you filled in that frame with solid whatever metal it's made of, it would be stronger. It'd weigh a lot more and the strength gains probably wouldn't be worth the extra weight but it would be stronger nonetheless. Humans aren't meant to be tanks that have bones that can withstand monstrous impacts, thus one of the reasons are bones are not solid. Humans evolved from tree monkeys to run on the ground. So our bones can't be too heavy or else we sacrifice efficiency which could mean a meal is missed because we are too tired. Since nowadays most people are moving towards a more sedentary lifestyle, our bones are probably slowly but surely becoming less dense. -- zfreak220 -Conrad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zfreak220's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11948 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71261 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I take back what I said earleir. The drilled rim does contain some alloy. it is 96% aluminum. 4% other metals. the specific alloy must be heat treated after welding. -- vanpaun 'sixsixone' (http://www.sixsixone.com/) 'Ride Idiot Ride' (http://tinyurl.com/3tv4cl) glen wrote: I was referring more specifically to throwing circles at people...I should have been more explicit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vanpaun's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15704 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71261 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
