Anyone tried Sun MTX rims?
Anyone tried them with stans?
I want something thats stronger than a rihno lite and lighter than a mag30.
Needs to be 24" as its going on the back of a bighit.
Cant get arrow as I'm in Australia and I dont want atomlab.

Yes, and they are nice.
The rim itself seems to be strong and stays true.
Plus if you dent it, you can bend it back and keep on riding. :dancing:
This has been proven. :p
They are only 50 grams heavier than singletracks and in my experience they hold up way better.

hey the intense mag 30 comes in a 24" version and so far they have proven to be extreamly strong.

btw before this rim my rear wheels only lasted about 3-4 months. these wheels were all biult be a good biulder!!!

Thanks for the info on the MTX.
I have two Mag30 rear wheels allready.
This one is for urban use so it doesnt need to be as strong.
I've only had them for a while but my freinds Mag30s still look like new after over a years use. They seem to be significantly stronger than a 321.

Sounds like the MTX is pretty well constructed like the mag30.
My current OEM Rihno Lite is comming appart at the seam, its a little wobbly but has no flatspots. I'd leave it except that my spokes have started breaking all of a sudden (3 in a week). My LBS reckon that spokes have a life span of 2-3 years use off road. It seems to be a combination of that and crappy OEM spokes.
