I NEED INCREDIBLY STRONG RIMS! I hear mixed reviews and don't know what to think; your help?
I'm VERY hard on rims, that's inevitably going to be my downfall... In
the meantime, I'm looking for a set of rims for my Norco (150x12 and 20mm front) that will at least tolerate some of the abuse. I've put together a little list including Industry Nine FR/DH's, Atomlab Pimps, DT swiss FR/DH's (w/440 hubs), DT swiss FR 2350's, Azonic outlaws, and Mavic Deemax. I'm afraid of the Outlaw's being cheezy, and I've heard things about the Deemax's having pawls break and the rear hubs exploding; but there are mixed reviews on the two wheelsets. This may be specuation, but the Pimps seem like the strongest, being 32mm and all. All the rims have something I like, most of all I like the way the spokes lace into the Industry Nine's. Any suggestions for a rim that's truly "tough as hell"? |

Any suggestions for a rim that's truly "tough as hell"? You're gonna cry when those I-9's bust apart. If you are that hard I wouldn't spend that kind of $$$ on a flashy wheel like I-9. I have a similar problem with rims (smashing into trees and rocks doesn't help). Time and time again, the rim that has never let me down has been the Sun Rhyno Lite. -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws |

Any suggestions for a rim that's truly "tough as hell"? For XC mavic XM819 or XC717 depending on what tires you ride and for free riding EX721 or EX325 again depending on tires.Also you might want to look at the Hope Hugi hubs they are very well built. |

You're confused about I9 wheelsets. You can match their hubs to the rim (key word contained in the OP)of your choice. While the color choices make for some potentially flashy wheelsets, their hub and spoke design is burly. |
