Ight, im looking for some 24" v break compatable rims, I know there are the Atomlab pimp lites that arnt that light, also Ryno Lite xl's which seam like a good option but I would rather not go with a Ryno Lite, Halo SAS's would be nice, esp in white, but the white powercoat comes off so it says, but should I go with the Halos anyways? if so which ones, the lighter the better....

Thanks for your help,

Eric

Why don't you want to run Rhyno Lite XLs? Best rim eva IMO for street/DJ.

 

[f0ggy]

really? Hmm, I guess ill look into them deeper, I had some ryno lites, and I was just lookin and the xls are welded, and more suited for street, so ill check it out, do you know of hand how much they run?

 

[Bicyclist]

They run around $50 a pop.

How much do you weigh? If you're light-ish and smooth-ish they'll work great (and you've gotta be/have a good wheelbuilder too, that's the important part).

I weigh a buck 30 right, now and an not smooth in any way (gonna start Dirtjumpin n street) but for the price of thoes I think I can be smooth enough, thanks for ya help dude, and ive got an awesome wheel buildier. Also what bike u runnin em on, I just orderd a Nemesis Dm so im stoked about that, and plan to put em on there.

edit- U Ojai bicyclist on mtbr?

I wouldn't suggest white halo's if you wanna run V's. Not only does the white wear off, it creates a horrible braking surface. Get Rhyno Lite XL's. They'll be fine.

Get the Rhynos bro, when I had mine I weighed 165 and had no problems. I was even racing Hardtail DH class with them (stupid I know) and had no problems.

alright rhynos it is. thanks for your help guys.

atomlab GI dirt rims are v brake compatible. little heavier than RL xl's

I'm running them on my Tonic Fall Guy. The DM is a sick bike too!

That's me.

You'll be stoked on the DM, I just got a 26" version last weekend, It's a nice paddywinkle blue. I'm waiting on parts to build it up right now.

If you can get the Chrome rhyno for the back, it gives you a much better braking surface then the black one. If you pay much attention to bmx, you'll notice a TON of guys have chrome in back, and a different color up front. This is because chrome creates one of the better braking surfaces for rim brakes.

Whaaa? A DM 26"? Why no Tonic?

I like machined the best.

chromes are darn near impossible to find these days...

A 26 version of the DM... Isnt that the SF or the SA?

 

[Bicyclist]

No, they make a 24 and 26" DM.

 

[f0ggy]

still have the tonic......well, sort of...............I still own a tonic, but I don't have it right now.

Anyways, I wanted a 26" bike in my quiver, and you can't beat a Nemesis Project.
