i use the runway as a rear wheel i got it in red its actually gettin laced to a new hub but ive ran it for maybe a year. this rim was part my first real aftermarket rim set i have got and im still running it and my alinnation deviant in the front too. it pretty durable havent had anything to bitch about with it yet.

these rims are alright... not the strongest in my opinion, I have one in the rear, and now getting 7KA's. I wouldn't rank them so low but good for the value, if you don't ride too hard and ride smooth, these are great rims, but if you grind/bail a lot, there are better rims. The cross-lacing is awesome, it makes this rim worth every cent, Super light and has great machined sidewalls for braking. Also the choices of colors is quite nice, (Is this the only rim available with dual color?, just wondering.) 8.5/10; not the best but great.

got this on race bike in blue, strong, light and looks cool

this rim is a tank i ran it rear for like 5 months runs perfect hopefully the next uxer is just as happy.

And to answer your questions about the strength of the rims...they are just as strong or stronger than anything else out there. I currently run one on the rear and still true after heavy riding! They're the real deal! You won't be let down!

Double wall, welded and still super light! By far the best rims I have ever put on my bike. Alienation has their shit together. I really can't understand why everyone that rides BMX doesn't run their rims...then again that seems to be in the works now. Good shit Alienation!! I'm also a customer for life!!

grade a bike parts

ok eastern or who ever they had build the wheel for my bike had the hoop laced wrong. they laced it to the close side of the hoop instead of crossing to the far side as it was designed. wow what a difference in ride. alienation now has a customer for life. With the rim laced correctly this thing is sooo solid its like a slab of concrete. i won't even look down if i land wrong, i ride alot of big trails and i highly recomend this rim for all types of riding. lite, stops like chrome, super strong-- if there is any other positive remark i wanna make it.

I have these on my race bike and there the best rims Ive bought, getting another set for my sons bike also and some of my riders are getting them.

sorry didn't replace hoop just spokes and nipples. very excited about the new setup. very stiff and thats how i like it.

update from 4/24/08
hey i just got them back from Martin Wheels and they relaced my hoops with primo white spokes and alloy nipples. i blew out half of the old spokes and the hoops were still true. So far so good. I don't think i'll have any more problems with my birectional wheel this year. the spokes on my complete were just plain bad. the hub and hoops are good. thats why i just laced em up again. check out my brofile so see how i ride to see in you think it stands up to your standards. thanks i'll post again with further info as i test em.

this rim looks really good. i know it will be great in front, but does anyone know how well it will be in the rear?

trash

I heard that these rims were good from a friend! But the way i ride i think i will jus taco the rim! Someone tell me are these rims any good or should i just go with a set of heavier rims! cause i do alot of street and i am agressive with it!

hey i got these built on my 08 asesino eastern bike and the wheels for sure needed a tensioning however the white rims are very tacky with some hombre pads. now that i've been riding them for three months i've got them dialed and they are sweet. i notice here they aren't showing them available in white however on my eastern complete they are. good luck with yours
