Title: Mid school Kin Lin rims
Post by: ED209 on February 05, 2014, 09:28 PM
Anyone know anything about these?

Any info I have found says they made cheap rims for stock bikes ... these are very light weight alloy rims that are laced to PMC sealed hubs ... these were nice high end rubs, so why lace them to low end rims? #confused  :)

As you say ed they were low end rims (normally single wall) used for the OE market. Nothing terribly wrong with them, but they certainly weren't the type of rim to hold up to too much abuse.

It's a new thing ... Rim and hub combined ... Like a spork.
