in the club i am in we have 9+ alex rims and only 2 old KH and 1 new KH ALex rims are old (03?) and they are still being made (they generally don't keep making junk so) and i don't know anyone who has destroyed one and the KH hasn't had that long of a period to be tested
muzzle said: Liek what they said. KH is wider, and it also has eyelets which are also and advantage
i ride an alex rim with eyelets it just depends on where you get it from

Stops spokes from possibly ripping through the rim as far as I know.
Also allows you to use Aluminum nipples.
If you use aluminum nipples on an aluminum rim, they will fuse together over time.

the DX32 is a great rim, but for trials/street the wider the rim, the less likely your tyre is to bend and all. THe new KH rim doesnt break either....
The DX32 is gerat, but the KH is 9mm wider whihc is enormous. Also the onza rim is basically the same as the KH and the tryall rim is pretty good too.

Put it this way, Kris used to ride on DX-32s and bust them alot, then he designed a rim of his own, would he make it better or worse? 🙂

Another rim that looks awesome is the Koxx street rim. Not drilled for extra strength, and it comes in a sick orange color. O yeah, eyeletted too.

I want one of those bad-boys for my trials. I'm skeptical about drilled rims. And I'd like something stronger than what I've got now (alex).

Eyelets are the the silver things that line the inside of the hole for the nipple. Drilled holes are the big holes that are used ti save weigh, but make it somewhat weaker.
