Broken: New KH 20" rim



Whoah, sorry for that previous post. That came off as really
condescending. Sorry. But the point stands that 25 psi is a rather high
pressure.

Why does it have to be what I did? As John Childs says theres a strong
posibiblity it was a faulty rim. No I didn't land on a rock and bottom
it out otherwise I would have said. No The tyre was NOT pushed out
because I was running about 25 psi. Yes I did land at a slight angle but
no where near enough to expose the rim, only very slight. This only
leaves ONE posible answer does it not, it's a faulty rim!!!

before commenting.

Wow that's too bad about the rim and to be honest I'm quite surprised-
they have stood up better than Alex DX32's for me. I guess nothing's
indestructable.

Joe or Aaron, send me an email with some more details, to
[email protected].

Thanks,

Kris
