    Are the K1 undrilled rims any good?

    I'm ordering my new wheelset today but I can't decide between a K1
    drilled or undrilled rim.

    I really want a gold undrilled b/c it looks awesome, but I don't know
    if its super strong. Has anyone broke one? I don't jump anything too
    gnarly yet so I think it will hold but I just want to be sure. Biggest
    set I jump is 7

    Hi!

    Man i ride Koxx undrilled's on my Uni and my Trial Bike!...And they
    still alive!

    I'm very light... Around 48Kg... But with my trial bike i can do big
    drops (around 2m)... The same with the uni...

    A lot of peoples say that they aren't strong... But for me they are
    very good... And i think it will be strong enough for a BC!

    Bye!

    Alright cool. I'm a little heavier than you though but still appreciate
    the help.

    Anyone else have one?

    My Tryall drilled is holding up fine.. I built the wheel myself (I do
    pretty good but I am no pro). I do 7-8 set size drops. Ive ridden it at
    high pressure and low pressure without checking my spokes for a month
    or two. No problems whatsoever.

    I used to be all about the undrill eyeletted rim, I soon got used to
    the drilled and after haveing less rotational weight its hard o go
    back. 'Specialy since the drilled is holding up fine, no flatspots or
    anything.

    If you are not already bending you rims and have a decent wheel build
    the rim should be fine.

    Undrilled trial rims are pretty much all the same, except for the width.

    Cons of a drilled:
    The distance between the nipple hole and the eyelets is very week. My
    old red try all (after two years of abuse) was extremely out of true.
    You need to pay attention to your spokes, and always keep them true. A
    good wheel build and maintenance is essential.

    Pros
    Looks sexy. Light, awesome colors, etc.

    Koxx undrilled is way to heavy for me. About 2 weeks after i put it on,
    i sold my kh wheel and bought a nimbus wheel when they were 86 bux. Its
    a whole lot easier to flip the wheel when its light. As long as you
    dont plan to do many flip tricks, i would go undrilled since i heard
    they are quite strong. If you plan to do flip tricks, go with a drilled
    rim, since they are light and strong as long as you keep the spokes
    tight before anything big.

    Haha I can't believe I wrote that. Yeah I meant to say drilled rims.

    This is probably a confusing thread to most people

    I ordered everything but my cranks. Should be here this coming weeek.
