Lightest White Rims Out There

[louis2999]

I'm looking at new rims.
i have found a few like mtx 33 they weigh 700+ grams
and the funn decender is 640 grams.
are there any lighter rims that are as strong?
cheers

http://www.syncros.com/rims.htm Syncros do white, but I have no idea about strenghth.

 

[powley]

did you try searching a little?

MTX 31's are lighter than 33's.. duh

Mavic 721's are light

spank subrosa rims are light... but I'm not sure how strong they are


again, search

 

[louis2999]

yeah have seen the sycros.
they are 685 grams.
i am leaning towards funn decenders on my basic knowledge atm.

Mtx 31's aint what im after

There are lighter rims. But i doubt they will be as strong. The lighter you get the weaker you get (generally).

1) Forgetting about colour, buy a wheelset that will suit your purposes.

2) Get them painted.

It's not that expensive/hard, and you will have totally unique fulleh sikuleh whyte rimz bruhz.

mtx 33 white are $110

Sun Equalizer 31 or even the 29. Also The Funn Descender is made by Sun and hugely similar to the MTX rims.

Hey
I run Funn XLRARTERS, they're white and weight only 470 grams each!
I run the on my DJ/Street bike evn though they are supposed to be 4X rims but they hold up fine.
For strength I wouldn't run them for DH or FR or if you're a real hack rider but otherwise they're fine.

 

[louis2999]

could they be strong enough for downhill dirt jumps and street?

DJ and street, yeah they're fine.
With DH, I wouldn't expect them to hold up too well.
On nice flowy tracks (even some more choppy ones) they'd be ok but anything with big rock gardens and/or bit hits I wouldn't use em.

 

[louis2999]

yeh well the local tracks i ride.
are fair rocky fast and lots of roots.

 

[fairy1]

Scrool down you'll see em, not sure how strong though-http://www.velocitywheels.com/default.asp?contentID=512
