I'm going to need to get a new rear rim soon on my Bighit, because my singletrack is in pretty bad condition, with flat spots and dents.
What I want to know is some companies or specific rims that would be good to go on a freeride and DH race bike. The rim will be for the rear and be in 24inch form.
Also what is a good 24inch tire. Used mainly on hardpack surface but will also ocassionaly be used on mud. Also want it to be a hard compound as it will be ridden on roads to get to tracks. I found it pretty hard to get a good 24inch tire, ended up going for a highroller ST (didn't want supertacky but that was all that was left)
Also I don't want to be spending huge amounts of money for this, max on tire about $60 maybe $70 (Australian) and for the rim about $200 max, not including labour for build.
