my friend has a 7ka and airs like 6 feet out of a quarter and regularly cases with like 45 psi or less, i'm always hearing the rim hit the coping. so far theres only one little ding in the sidewall but it spins damn near true. i think his last rim was a primo and it got hammered. we pretty much swear by 7ka's around hear. it'll probably be my next rim. or maybe a gsport they seem dope but i have no experience with them. i got hazard lites now and they're great.

My friends haro had a single wall rim on it, I think it was an alienation pbr, and I don't know how it hasn't folded in half. He goes huge and his frame shows it, the back end is bent so when riding straight it looks like a dog, the chainstay and seat stay bridge are both snapped and now the head tube has snapped... Yet the single wall pinned rim hasn't died, wtf?

odyssey hazzard lite for the back and 7k-A front
that makes no sense. you want the stronger rim in the back.
thank you! someone who finally agrees with me...
whats wrong with a strong front rim

you want a back rim that is strong enough for your riding style and a lighter (not weaker) front rim

7KA's are stronger than Hazard Lites. That's what they're getting at.

they are lighter.
there is no reason to make sure you have a weak front rim.

primo balance 7005...got one rather recently and have been riding the crap out of it and hasn't gone out of true yet
Primo isnt the Best mate, definitely if you ride hard. I would recommend Odyssey hazard Lite.
I dented my Primo Balance 7 series from a flip so.

hey guys, sorry to thread-jack, but i was wondering if 36h front rim and 48h back is stronger or just go with 36h front and back? btw, rims would be hazard lites or 7-ka.
Thanks, Brad

36h should be plenty strong. especially if you get 7kas
