have i made a mistake going with 24" dx-32 rims?

rbx · 07-15-2003, 02:05 AM

keep reading that they split at the seem..maybe being 24" and 36h might help a bit!?

i hope they will last on my HT for urban riding!

unless your a serious rim killer have no worries thats a quality rim....

if the wheel build is good u should have no problems...

u need to take EVERYTHING u read on NSMB with a serious grain of salt...

theres alot of "if one item fails they must all suk" mentality here....

yea you'll probably have no problem unless you are terribly unsmooth and do stupid drops to flat that would kill all other rims anyways. like IFO said, wheel build is important. make a habit of checking your spokes every few rides if you ride hard, and tightening the lose ones with a spoke wrench.

haha yea lots of that "one broken = all suck" mentality here
