Bike trials is completely different from uni trials... A properly landed
10' drop ca be as soft on a wheel as a 3' drop on a unicycle... Ever
notice how many of them use square taper cranks?

Buy the drilled rim if you want... It costs a lot more. I have ridden a
DX-32, Monty, and currently a try-all (drilled). I bought it thinking
it'd be good. It's the weakest rim I've ever owned. I noticed no
performance difference at all between my DX-32 and Try-all. I'dgo with
a DX-32 or KH if I had to re-do my uni.

bike trials riders are much softer when they land. drilled rims are
standard for bike trials, drilling takes alot of weight off for how
little strengnth is lost. I don't think you can buy an undrilled rim
anymore (except dx32, and kh) even the current monty rims are drilled.
The problem for us is that only a select few of these new rims come in
36 hole, which is a dying pattern in bike trials.

One company from Japan, 'ZHI' (http://zhibike.com) has recently started
making 36 hole 19" rims that are 38mm wide (bigger than sun doublewide)
which is also a new bike trials standard. I bought one of these rims at
'trialsin.com' (http://trialsin.com), and will post a review when I get
it built up and tested.

Do you have a link to that rim? I was looking at those rims a long time
ago but I could only find the 32 hole rims.

Thanks

It looks just like the green 32 hole rim pictured on 'trialsin.com'
(http://trialsin.com). It dosen't say on his site, but Tim has a few in
stock (I think he said 5 or something like that) and only in silver,
demand is pretty limited for the 36. this is because all biketrials
hubs are 32hole.

I'll let you know how well or poorly this holds up to flat spotting
after I build it up.

I looked at a trialforum and I read that some trialbikers use KH rims on
there bike.
Some like it, a few don't.
I have found a picture from a KH rim after 2 months use on a
trialbike:[image:

That isn't a KH for one it's a drilled rim. Also the sides are wayy
messed, and I read that thread and I don't think they said it was a KH
rim in the pic, they were just mentioning a rim that someone destroyed.
I think they were actualy mentioning the ronnie picture as it is the
one he mentioned starting off with, so I'm assuming that that is
another ronnie rim that was destroyed.

Why?
I makes the rim weaker and the rim will be only a few grams lighter.

Try-all's are drilled all the way through. That one is not.
Drilling does not make the side wall weaker, someone had a bad
landing.

Not really, the rim loses only a little bit of strength and it loses
quite some weight. If you doubt it, you can always ask Kris.
