Im building a new bike around christmas time and want opinions. Nearly all the parts will be through another company (im not giving that away about my build because that would spoil it)

heres the parts i am debating upon.

rims- Eclat Jaw vs Animal RS -Leaning toward the jaw because of the wide set cross lace but idk if it comes in the proper color
pedals- Hamilton PC vs Surge PC - pedals are pedals
maybe a stem... Animal MR tl or Eclat Nathan -for looks
tires- Animal TWW-R vs Eclat Control - i prefer the tww-r because i like folding tires and they last forever and i know nothing about eclat tires

im not mixing part from both companies...

any info on the controls would be much appreciated.

if your not going to mix parts i would go with elcat simply cuz the jaw rim, sense it has a actual function, and you also can tell all of us if its good or not

I would go with Eclat Ctrl tires over TWWs, but GLHs and Ctrls look equal. I'd pick eclat stem for looks, they are probably equal in strength.

Whilst i love Animal with a passion & have for many years, Eclat are just top notch! Some of the best & most innovative parts in BMX & as you know, when October/November time comes my BSD will be built pretty much solely with Eclat parts. The only thing i don't particularly like are their Tyres. Even the new Ridgestones don't really do it for me. Which is why i am going to get the Cult Dehart Gum top Tyres. Plus i have been ordered to by the lady! smile

I ride street but have parkish bike haha. Both companies are good, I've heard the rs rim was shit but I think that was the first run of them and they fixed them. I don't remember. But to be honest, that stem is overpriced as fuck for a generic looking topload. It's not super light or anything special I don't personalyl see what makes it nearly 20 bucks more than other stems.
