hey i just startin off bikin and i need to buy better rims for my bike but i dont know the difference between single and double wall rims. Can someone tell me.
well double walls are stronger, and a bit heavier, but worth the weight. try to get a thinner profile double wall rim if you are using them for like light street and dirt, if you are just starting out there is no reason to buy DH rims and suffer from the weight of them

I'll get this out of the way first: The amount of walls doesn't really matter.
The difference between the two is:
Single wall - The rim has no inner wall connecting the two sides of the rim. This isn't the greatest picture, but it shows the basic idea of a single walled rim (ignore the square holes, they don't apply with mountain/bmx rims)
Double wall - has a wall between the two sides of the rim for extra support. Not necessary on wide rims. Sometimes also have braces between the first and second wall as well.
^^^ did you just say the amount of walls doesnt matter? youre an idiot
thanks.
It's a common misconception that more walls = stronger. The overall design of the rim is more important. A lot of people cut out the second wall to remove weight on their rims. And, how well the wheel is laced.

oh yea definitely, thats why downhillers, dirtjumpers, and bmxers run single wall rims because they weigh the same as double walls but are just as strong. i think that you should start learning a thing or two about biking and stop putting false information on this thread, you are only confusing the kid who posted this thread.

Single wall is lighter.
Likewise, not ALL rim designs have to be single wall. Wide rims have no need to be double walled.
