[doubt] ACS-Z rims vs Araya 7x

(1/6) > >>

fLA:
Hi to all,
As the subject says.. I have some doubt about ACS-Z rims vs Araya 7x.
And would like to have some reviews and opinion about those 2 rims.

diferences, usability, weight, brake power, look, spokes hole, hubs to use with, knowed problems, etc.. etc...


thanks in advance.

7X's all the way for a rider!!

Z's look cool as! but with a weighty adult riding them you will find they flex alot and will need trueing quite often.

Well that's my 2p worth  :)

motomagII:
7x all day long
z rims bendy as hell and need trueing all the time ,also crazycraig kept getting punctures with his when they flexed
they look cool in the colours they did but not as good by far

fLA:
the "Zīs" swing a lot is it?

so.. you only use "Zīs" for Show bike, not for ride it.. or only "lighter" riders.
Well I weight 85kg... maybe they will crack... instead of bend...  :2funny:

Sorry for me it's Z's all the way... proper old school!!!

Try and go for the pre-stamped USA made versions circa 1981... they were made using a thicker strand of the "Nylon Zytel" and were way less flexy!

They look trick as hell in my opinion!
