Strongest 16in rim

wickedbob · 2008-03-02T04:19:01+00:00

So yeah, I just wanted to know the strongest 16in rim available. I was looking to build a little 16in up to carry with on on long distance rides so I can sill do trials and street, kind of. The only problem is that I don't think there is one strong enough seeing as I'm about 180lb. I didn't know if the nimbus rim would be strong enough, so i figure I'd ask about that in this thread too. Thanks. -- wickedbob R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG 'Add wickedbob to your ignore list' (http://tinyurl.com/3dfrko).

Monty makes 16" rims that would probably fit your need. I can't think of
an online dealer though.

No thanks, I already have a trials uni. Actually I have two, 19in a dx
and a custom. I just wanted to build up a 16in and wanted to see what
rim would fit my needs.
