Thanks for the info, I have never shopped for rims so the width is a good thing to keep in mind.
I'll have to find out what max rim width the bike can take.
You would think a wider width means a strong rim but maybe that is wrong
I've always heard of Mavics as being recommended by a couple friends
Im looking at my hubs and they only have 28 spokes though, so maybe the hubs I have wouldn't match up to a 32-spoke'r
Anyways thanks, that's a good start !
I mean, my stock rims are ok, they've lasted quite a while. But they really go out of true easily.
The biggest drops with no speed must be 3 feet, usually, maybe 4.
..For which I have been chastised, since this bike "isn't meant for that." Or so I was told.
Other than that it's 90% rock-laden trails but not straight downhill.
I also pop a lot of rear tires
Not sure if that' bc I need more pressure, the rims, or both.
