I'm VERY hard on rims, that's inevitably going to be my downfall... In
the meantime, I'm looking for a set of rims for my Norco (150x12 and
20mm front) that will at least tolerate some of the abuse. I've put
together a little list including Industry Nine FR/DH's, Atomlab Pimps,
DT swiss FR/DH's (w/440 hubs), DT swiss FR 2350's, Azonic outlaws, and
Mavic Deemax. I'm afraid of the Outlaw's being cheezy, and I've heard
things about the Deemax's having pawls break and the rear hubs
exploding; but there are mixed reviews on the two wheelsets. This may
be specuation, but the Pimps seem like the strongest, being 32mm and
all. All the rims have something I like, most of all I like the way
the spokes lace into the Industry Nine's. Any suggestions for a rim
that's truly "tough as hell"?
