Opinion on 24 inch 03 Sun Single Track Rim???

Opinions please on the 24 inch 03 Sun Single Track Rim. Thinking of getting it and use i as a rear wheel. I will be doing FR, DH probably max drop height about 10 feet.

why not go DBLtrack ???

singletrack is a pretty lightweight rim for DH abuse and 10 foot drops…unless your smooth like Nico….:D

doube tracsk are way stronger and better u can evan ride them flat and they won't bent or dent

Heck I'll sell you mine, cheap with the hub. PM me.

im running 26" Single Track on front

and 24" Doubletrack on rear

i go big but am smooth so haven't bent the front rim yet. i've had to true it 3 times in 8 months which ain't bad. when it goes i'll put a 26" Doubletrack on the front.

singletrack is a great rim (espeically 24" for dirt jump bikes - much better than Rhyno Lite or Ditch Witch) but a bit light for heavy hucking if your heavy or not always land in the right place :rolleyes:

I destroyed one in a very short time - and I'm not hard on rims.

lol - really?

It will hold up fine if your light and smooth, I have cased a double really really hard doing like 20 mph and the rim was fine, then again Im only 150 pounds though, also I have done 10 foot plus hucks on the bike, but its a big hit with 8 inches of travel, so for a hardtail, definitely double tracks in the back if your a big guy.

They're a good over all rim, not as strong as a Double Track but also not as heavy. I'm 185lbs have and run single tracks, 26"front 24" rear, to give you an idea of how tuff these rims are I did a double drop on the weekend, a 6' to tranny to 7' drop to flat. I pinch flated on the first drop and landed the 7' to flat on a flat tire landing basically on the rim, it only suffered a slight dent, but nothing to write home about. If your a light rider go with the Single Tracks, if your not very smooth or just starting out go with the double tracks.

I'm runing a 24'' single track on the back now for 18 months , for a mix of everything and its held up fine (36 spoke) could do with truing . Might get a heavier rim if it goes tho

hahah go Cam… that was on Air-supply wasnt it ???

p.s. u must have hit hard, it blew the tire/tube clean off….

:eek:

Also look at the prices depending on where you're buying the wheel, if a doubletrack only cost 5-10$ more why not just spend the extra coin and get a better rim?

At Overtime, doubletrack on formula 20mm built was 120$ and singletrack on formula 20mm was $110. I think you can guess which one I bought…:rolleyes:

double tracks are good, I run duals on my dualie but am going to put dual singletracks on my ht :)
