  3. Cody really messed up his rim really fast. He kept knocking it out of
    true and a 180 off a drop kind of killed it.

    Sorry, there's no unit of measurment for a 10 set. 🙄

    Seriously, the Koxx team does some pretty big stuff with it, so either
    it's strong or they get lots of free replacements.

  6. Keep it trued and tight. Everything should go well after that.

    The spokes really make up the rim strength.

    I am sure you already knew that though =p

  7. If you are going to do big stuff on it then you probably shouldn't get a
    drilled rim. If you are getting a koxx uni then get the street rim
    instead.

    Obviously because he wanted to know if he can give it a beating or if
    he should be worried and take it easy on the rim.

  12. either take it easy or just murder it fast and hope they give you a
    replacement for the weak rim

    knocking it out of true has little to do with rim strength, thats just
    wheelbuild strength. If you use stronger shorter spokes and tighten
    them more you won't have that problem.

    I think the only way you can judge the strength is by watching what
    they do in the Koxx videos using the try-all rim.

    That does not tell you anything. They don't tell you how many those
    guys go through or any damage they do to them. There is probably a
    reason that they switched to the non-drilled rim for the street unis.
