    What uni do you have? I say get this if you can
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1094 it is one of the
    best wheel sets out there and at an awesome price. YOu can get the
    cranks of your choice and more people are going to isis! I say be done
    with your problem now instead of getting a new rim paying for it to get
    built and hlah blah blah. With the cost of the rim, shipping, spokes
    and building it will probably very close just this wheel set.

    hey, i can't quite tell wether your uni is 24" or 20" from your avatar,
    but I suggest getting a KH 07 wheel from darren bedford.

    Crazy maybe the 24's are weaker than the 19" trials. I went off repeat
    4-5ft drops with low pressure and really smacked rim with no flat spots
    and I weight about 175-185. How did you break it?

    Well I can barely see the rim in that picture but it looks like that is

    If I am correct, you're a light guy, around 110-130 pounds, if I
    remember your videos correctly.

    You should just get another Alex DX32, and run higher pressure... or
    take it to a bike shop, they can most likely fix that.

    You really have no other choice... 48 Spokes...

    24" Rims in 48 Spoke are pretty much non-existent from all the
    countless hours I spend looking at bike parts online wishing I could
    afford them.

    What's not to like about the DX32? It's one of the strongest rims there
    is.
