I know I saw that and it look like just what I need only I am in America
and shipping will be an arm and leg. So yeah anything I can get in
America would be great maybe Canada.

Thanks a bunch though.

Hey I did want to order other stuff from muni-cycle so other than their
shipping cost would there be anything else such as customs and extra
charges? If I make a big order from there it wouldn't be soo painful.

that nimbus rim might be coming stateside. just have to wait till UDC
updates their site.

edit:I have the koxx 26" drilled. It's a pretty decent rim, nice and
wide. Could always go for a Large Marge, too.

That would be awesome. Also I am on a budget of like 450$ I want a cf
base, but could get that later so nothing super expensive that is why I
choose the tried true and great nimbus 2 frame.

I don't think a nimbus 2 frame fits a marge besides that is expensive
and I
don't know of any trials/street tires that would work with something
that
wide.

EDIT God dam ucd takes a long time to do anything... I have had good
service, but still...

Seriously I want a kh hub or that one and I kind of need it for my
street uni. Also they will not give me the fuc$in' dimensions of the kh
hub so I can get spokes.

Yeah maybe. I know even uses a primo since it is the lightest rim I know
of about 15oz. I don't need them right now I can't order then for a
bit, but still it has been 4days how hard it is to call me/email the
dimensions.

It's on 'UDC UK' (http://tinyurl.com/2eutay) right now. They might
bring it over for you to UDC US if you ask so you don't have to pay
duty fees, like you would otherwise, MDC too.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

I will have to give them an email asking about that.

Thanks for that post it is very helpful. Anybody know how strong the
Alex is? I plan on doing drops at least 4ft-5ft maybe bigger, but that
is all I can do for now with confidence.

Very

Just make sure the rim is properly tensioned and check it regularly,
esp. when it's new, just like everyone should do on every rim.

Most rims are damaged by poor spoke maintinence and/or bad landing
tecknique (so roll out) - paraphrasing KH

on a 24" alex rim, it has held up great for me. 150 pounds, and i
have done close to a 6ft drop with lower pressure and a higher seat
than i would have prefered and nothing bad happened. i also keep my
wheel true and tight which definately helps.

is forward while hoping and on landings

i know when i land backwards footing i land way harder than i usually
do. if i were to do a big drop with backwards footing i would be
morelikely to mess something up than after repeated drops with correct
footing. with correct footing i can drop my body so get the softest
landing possible.

Unless you did lots of smaller drops focusing on a smooth landing
untill you could do it equally well both sides.
