  1. Hello, if you had the task of selecting rims to go into this category,
    which would you include?

  2. Any mod rim, 19" for street. Most people would agree that mod rims are
    best for flat too. It's a fine line tho, so you could easily include
    strong/wide 20" rims too.

    The alex dx-32 is really strong, its not as wide as some of the others
    though.

    Mod rims are the 19" rims that takes the 2.5" trials tires. Mod is
    short for modified bmx.

    We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim

    The Zhi, and KH rims are pretty much the same as the Koxx rims as far
    as strength. I don't know where you are getting this Koxx rims sucks
    from.

    It's true they suck. They are made of a different aluminum (don't as me
    which one I don't know) but trials bikers also complain it they wont
    hold a grind for very long at all. I guess the metal is softer. Cody
    Williams pops his out of true so often it almost becomes like a joke
    when we go riding.

    It is 7005 T6, and a lot of french riders use these rims and have no
    problem with it. It is a light one less robust than the undrilled one
    but I have used one for trial riding during one year and didn't break
    it.

    Don't worry about this rim, it is robust. At the beginning I was
    affraid too to use a drilled rim but, now, I am sure that it is robust
    enought for trial using.

    For street riding, it's better to use an undrilled one, but for
    flatlanding, the drilled one is better.

    You should have taken a Koxx-One saddle...they are much better than KH

    and when you see how Matt rides, you can be sure the black domina frame

    Do you work for koxx or something?

    Actually, I am having a work experience at Koxx-One for my studies.
    But, do you have a special reason why you don't like Koxx-One stuffs?

    Don't you agree with the things you have quoted? And if you're not,
    could you explain me why?

    Thanks!
