Strong and affordable rim?

Joketheclown · 2012-07-06, 02:18 AM

So I have a history with bending my rims after jumping off of stuff.

But anyways I am wanting to build a 26" unicycle for transport and also muni if I feel like it. I've been searching for a strong, light, and affordable rim. I was thinking about the 26" Kris Holm freeride rim but haven't heard much about it so any info on what's a good rim and what isn't would be really helpful.

And I'm trying to keep it under or near to $80

For a diskbrake take a look at the dartmoor raider rim.
Its a very nice, light and strong rim. Price should be 75$ afaik.

If you're running a rim-brake you'll need to take a look at the Dartmoor Fortress (bit heavier and of course stronger). Lot of colour-options
