large mage compatiblity w/kh freeride

How big was the drop? I thought kh rims were supposed to be really
strong. Is it actually bent or just out of true?

I bent my kh rim today on a drop. Now I need a replacement rim and was
thinking about getting a large marge. The kh rim is 42mm, vs. the 65mm
L. marge. And it says that only disc brakes are compatible, but I have
maguras and don't know now if they will fit. If anybody can can help me
with definite info on this, I appreciate it! Oh, I also want to get a
gazz tire as well. 😄

terry, you are a *BEAST*.

i think you can run the 24 LM with magura's.

The drop was only about 4 feet, but unfortunately I didn't have
sufficient air pessure in the tire, and so I "bottomed" out on the rim
and the side wall of the wheel bent outward so that about 4" of rim was
affected. The wheel would not turn because of the close proximity of
the magura brake pads. I found a rock nearby and POUNDED the bent
portion back to flush...everything seemed back to normal...until I did
ANOTHER (smaller) drop, (couldn't help myself!😄)and the same thing
happened again! But this time I was unable to pound the rim back all
the way, so for the duration of the ride you could hear the rim
scraping along from at least 500 yards away!😄🙂🙄😎:p😉

To confirm what the other thread said, yes, the LM fits the KH
freeride, with a couple of caveats:

*You need adapters to use a Magura brake. Scott Wallis makes some, I
think.
*The Gazz cuts the tolerance very close. Hans in SB was running a
freeride+LM+gazz, and I think the sidewalls were rubbing just a little
bit. The Duro tire works no problem.

Yes the rim works great, and yes Scott Wallis makes adapters but he
hasn't as of a month or so ago made them for the KH. I had to grind my
brake pads way down for them to fit. Scott was looking into possibly
making some specifically for the KH.

Phil, I never got back with you about that, but the problem is that the
KH frames have used two different spacings on the brake bosses. I don't
have the all the info yet on when the changes were made, but the newest
frames seem to have the 4" spacing which works perfectly with my
current adapters. Yours and my nieghbor Phil's both had the approx 3.5"
spacing. Apparently anyone named Phil recieved the 3.5" version.
I need to find out how many of the narrow versions are out there before
I decide to make adapters for them. It is also not ideal to have the
slave cylinders extended that far from the frame bosses. Flex will be
much more of a problem with the additional .25" offset on each side.

MuniAddict Terry (thread starter) spoke to me and his has the good 4"
spacing.

Yeah and I've decided, at least at this point, to go with the newest
version KH freeride rim, sans that STUPID, USELESS,
BENT-RIM-WAITING-TO-HAPPEN "groove" in the sidewall, and a Gazz tire. I
can use my current magura setup without extenders (necessary with the
LM rim) and be back on the road this friday, as opposed to who knows
when!😄

I have an '06 KH 24 and Scott's brake adapters work perfectly on it.

Yeah I think I'll be happy with the new KH rim with a gazz on it!😄 I
had no complaints leading up to the breakage running a duro 3.0. Plus
it seems that the LM would be more useful for heavier riders; I'm only
145lbs so I haven't had any "roll over" problems, but I *do* have to
keep enough air pressure in the tire for the bigger drops. I'd been
using about 13-14lbs so I'll prolly up that to around 16 or so.
