I didn't even give my opinion.

But since you love my opinion so much, then why not?

My opinion on these rims:

I think its silly for deng to make 24" copies of his TGS rims for a completely different market.

well there is more rim variety for 24 now
since they went ahead and made those frames only makes sense they make the rims.
deng probably just sees the market for 24" and wants a bit out of that as well.
the frames look good the rims are cool why not?
i dont know why people are so against 24" trials

I like 24", but i'm wary to start using already scarce trials parts.

plus with two bikes of like wheel sizes (26"), I like being able to steal parts from one or another when needed

scarce trials parts?
if u have a 26" bike and a 24" bike all the parts are the same
how often do you switch the rims over?

I am getting an echo born 24" prototype pretty soon, maybe on Friday. Pretty stoked for that.

I believe 24" trials is a branch version of trials, it will always be around, but very few people will ride it and already a very few people ride trials as it is.

Parts will be scarce, especially when echo decides to stop making rims for 24" when they realize 1/500 trials riders are buying them. I should stock up, maybe get 2 rims

Hm...

Seems like manufacturers think its going to be the future of trials. Deng has plenty of them now...

and it seems like ZHI is jumping on the bandwagon too...I'm excited to see the new frames they're designing.

I'm not so sure that this sudden interest in 24 will last much longer either. I think the next fad might be 24" tgs bikes.

I think it is going to be hated like fixies by most older trials riders, but at least it won't be hated by everyone like fixies
