  1. I just bought a old school Vagabond "BMX 24" bike.

    The reason I am posting is because it has 24" rims with nearly the same
    exterior width as an Alex DX32. Are wide DH type rims not a new thing?
    How can I tell if it is a double wall or single? Would they make good
    MUni rims?

  4. I've continued riding the b*ke and now the rim has three v-shaped dents
    in it and is rather out of true, I guess it isn't as strong as I had
    hoped. Oh well, it can stay on my b*ke I guess. I'll just keep doing
    trials with my KH rim.

    I would still be interested to know if wide rims where common on old
    BMX bikes? And where there old unicycles that have very wide rims?
