sold the koxx DH pro, bought myself a kh 24", street’ed it up. I noticed it came with the drilled rim ( kinda sketchy), i thought nothing of it. Until i ripped 3/4,s of the spokes out of it flipping a 9( well tiny steps so an 8). First day of riding and a taco the rim, BRUTAL!
it was weird because the spokes all popped out ( litteraly popped), except it sounded more like a gun shot.
just wondering if anyone else these problems when riding muni with it.
ill post pics in a bit, my buddy took some pictures of the after math
just buy a solid wide rim, maybe a dx32 or sun doublewide, or if you’re going really crazy and don’t care about weight, the large marge will put up with just about anything (might be really bad for street though! :D)
Kris himself has tacoed rims. I myself have 3 KH rims on my KH20 KH24 and KH29. no problems with them. I am regularly doing 3 foot drops and I don’t always manage to roll out. Then again I only weigh about 145 pounds.
I am much happier with the KH 47mm rims than the Alex 32mm.
Exactly my thoughts, I occasionally roll my 24" duro and I couldn’t imagine going to a narrower rim. (mind you I don’t have a KH, rather one of those qu-ax bx-## rims)
Sorry to hear that Justin.
I didn’t get the 07 KH when I heard that the rims was drilled… I heard of some other people tacoing them.
Hopfully next year’s rim is hole-less.
maybe because that wheel was stock…get it tensioned and true…if it had been touched by a wheel builder that wasnt asian it would have been fine…what kind of tire pressure you running in that beast?
I Don’t know how the ethnicity if the Wheel-builder has anything to do with this! but that picture sure was nasty man. Here’s hopin’ you find an affordable, durable substitute tout suite.
yeah for someone whos been riding for over 6 years now, i always tension my rim before every ride ( never ride then stock). i dont know about warranty on this one, i was just checking with people to make sure it wasnt just a defective rim.
Was it the niples stripping? spokes breaking? or the rim cracking or opening up alowing the spokes to pull through? Im guessing It was the spokes at the top of the wheel (wheen you landed) that went?
