Hi

I am looking for a strong 24" rim for Urban and dirt jumps, must be V brake compatible and weight is not an issue. Any recommendations ?

 

[monkeyboy424]

are you looking for 36 or 32 hole? if you want 36, just get any BMX rim. those are strong.

36 is definatly stronger. double wall is better than single wall. try companies like atom lab, sun ringle rhino lites, single tracks or double tracks. I've been running a single track on the back of my bighit and love it.

Atomlab trailpimps are very very stong, but they are heavy too. If you are looking for a stong rim that is v-brake compatible, try Halo Combats, they have machined sidewalls, or planet x BMF's they also have the machined sidewall, and are extrememly strong.

the trailpimps are not as strong as everyone makes them out to be. the rhyno lights are not strong, the planet x rims look like a good option.

btw stay far far away from Halo!! they are crap

Wheels get most of their strength from the quality of the build. Al lthe brands mentioned so far are quality brands. Any decent hub, spokes and rim built up properly will be super strong. Pick the company who's colours you like. Get em built by the best guy you can find.

24 double wides... not v-brake compatable, but if you end up running disks get double wides of like Arrows, they are nice, but for v-brakes maybe rhino light or something alot that lines... make sure you have clearence for a very large rim before u get something big... are azonic momentem wheels v-brake combat... they look like it... im not sure

i've run on 26" wheels an xt/rhyno lite combo for like 3 years now. i keep the wheel trued well and they've lasted 100's of miles. i dj, urban, raced DH, and use em for all around transportation. i ran v brakes for 2 years, and since have bought a new frame and now i run hydro 6" disc brakes.

so i'd assume that the rhyno would make a good 24" wheel. i have friends that run the trail pimps and love em too.

i've seen a single track completly wrecked, but the guy treated em like garbage.

Hauling ass down long sets of stairs while running low tire pressure, he basically beat the **** out of them. but otherwise they looked strong.

and to reiderate what changleen said, it depends alot on the quality of the build, and how well the wheel stays true.

what it comes down to is $$ for me when looking at rims.
