dice efd rims are supposedly trail rims....I have cased out on many stair gaps and they havent even buckled....my 321's have buckled and folded (sidewalls) under way less stress !

As for tyres, the dmr tyres are good for street and jumps, enough grip for both styles.

521s are awesome rims for anything (especially street because they're light), and DMR motos are excellent tyres for street/dirt - the only downside is that they've got a pretty high profile so if you like to run your chainstays fully short (if you have horizontal dropouts) it may rub against your chainstay yoke. Other than that, they're excellent - roll fast, are light, grip well.

holy rollers are here in 26" so buy them, they are easily the best street tire every made, adn they are pretty sweet on the dirt aswell...

yeh, maxis, good and cheap. rims wise, my 321 are sweet, but there probably is better rims for weight.

Umm, I don't think so. Only 24" at this stage. Kenda K-Rads and DMR Motos are the alternative.

Replying to your own posts is the first sign of madness :P

I'd be opting for the 521s and a tight build over the SMOs seeing as Ajay is looking for something lighter.

i run 24" wheels. rear is an Atomlab Aircorp on a hope XC (i think) and the fron is one of 2 in Aus don't kno wat they are on a shimano deore.
Tyres of choice for anythin are highrollers.

Hell no. Minion front and Bling rear would be better.

If you're retarded maybe. ;) I've stairgapped on mine just fine, no damage at all, and I'm heavier and hackier than most.

For me the only wheel to go is the wheelcraft moto mojo build with 48 Spoke Dice SMO's and dice hoodoo hubs. These things are indestructible especially in 24" build.
