The Hazard would be a better front in purple and the back a 7ka in chrome I think. Also what kinda spokes and nipples?

The 7ka is stronger. And honestly, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference in weight between the two rims.

It is, no matter what testimonials you hear. The rim uses a much stronger alloy (research it if you must) and is a bit wider, which distributes the force better. No matter what you hear from people, the design of the 7ka with the materials it uses is undoubtedly stronger.

Facts is all good, but I prefer to see it with my own eyes really. I'd just go for a Big city on the rear. Don't be a weight weenie. Get a rim that lasts
