  1. I need some info on the 2007 KH trials rim. I need to kno how in
    compares in strength to the previous KH rims and the Alex rims. Those
    drilled holes just make me wary of the rim...It looks so weak to
    me...Someone please reassure me. Like post a vid of some crazy drops or
    wicked stairs sets to ease my mind.

    Thanks
    -Phil.

    But thats a 26", a mod would be stronger and Neil goes so big he could
    have done that to any rim probably.
    Also when unis land drops they dont have a brake clamped down on the
    rim.

    1, Those are stock rims.

    2, Two of those were over ground rims.

    3, Thats Neil Tunnicliffe, You wont be able to stress a rim nearly as
    much as he can.

  6. Not many mod rims have broken. They tend to just go out of true. Tryall
    rims are the worst people say, Softer alloy. Xavier collos broke a
    tryall rim, but that was doing a 9 set.

    Dx32's are about as strong as mod rims get. Also not drilled.

  11. I've done many drops with no rollout, landed sideways when failing 180's
    when going quite fast, and my rim isn't out of true at all. I myself
    actually thought it was going to go out of true very fast or just
    straight up break soon. It may look weak, but you can't judge a book by
    its cover.

    You can't judge a rim by it's wall thickness or lateral strength 😄

    assuming you say they have the same internal and external design, the
    Trials is probably 3x stronger

    if someone gives me a KH i will test it and see!!
    lol
    i have a nice 6' wall and a gap to flat i would like to do.

  19. Not that this really helps but it is on topic.
    My brother has the 07 KH rim on his uni. He just got his cast off and
    hasnt done anything big yet so he hasnt had any problems. Slightly
    less on topic i have a Try all rim and it hasnt broken although ive
    only done drops slightly over table height.
