Title: Z rims usage ?
Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on November 04, 2012, 01:17 PM

Were Z Rims used more for freestyle and could you use them as race ?
we see a lot of builds, but i never have taken into account if they have been used on race and not just freestyle

what are your thoughts ?  ???


cheers  B  ;)

I rode z rims for two seasons when I was 12-13

I didn’t really have any issues with em  :-\

I also ran MKS Graph's

Back then I just use to buy what we all saw in mags or what the bloke in the LBS had bought to many off and was trying to shift  >:D and never really bothered if it was race or freestyle specific
