I was wondering what the difference is between single, double and triple wall rims. I know the triples are stronger. What I want to know is what is the difference in how are they constructed?

The Alexrims Supra J is the only true triple wall rim I know of... not many places sell it, it's pretty heavy.

there are so many triple wall rims out there, there just arent as many sold today because the double walls have became pretty much just as strong but way lighter.

and the ody hazard light, one of the most popular hubs out there today is still a triple wall. just most don't notice that.

Yeah true, it's not nearly as overbuilt as the Supra J.

Strange, must be thick material then, hard to tell from the picture if you don't know the width of the rim.
