trials_uni said:GUI- the rim is 48 hole...the 32 holes refers to the big bores in the
rim that make it lighter
as for the rim itself it looks exactkly like a try-allbut maybe lighter
cuz the holes in the rim are bigger on this one
Um, maybe I'm not getting something but how can there be 32 big holes
and 48 spoke holes? From the picture they seemed to be spaced evenly,
so unless the big holes aren't drilled between every spoke hole, or
they toss some extra spoke holes closer together, 32 holes would be the
number of spoke holes and drilled holes. And from the website
"These are sweet rear rims from ZHI. 48mm wide, drilled, 32 hole in
red, green or gold. For stockbike (26"😉 or rear of mod bike (19"😉.
NOTE: these rims are too wide for older stock bike frames to set up rim
brakes with, always tell us what type frame you have so that you might
have the correct choice first time around."
Now, I imagine they would list the number of spoke holes in the
description, seeing how that is more critical then how many other holes
are drilled in it.
As far a drilling holes in the rim, the rim's are huge and engineered
with the intent of drilling holes in it. The metal in the middle of the
rim isn't as critical because of the particular stresses experianced by
the rim. The stresses may be different for uni and bike trials though,
so it doesn't neccesarily make it a better rim for everything.
