The-flying-banana:
Man these wheels are crap but look good and thats it ! i had a set bitd and the folded regular and they were blow out city due to spokes going through the inner tubes :-\

ps though i would put them on a old school build as they look great ;)

greentoad:
My memories are coming back. :D

I used to run z-rims on grass and town riding - a group of us (Mason, Shep, PB and others) used to go onto a golf course and jump on and off the holes, plus go down the steep hills / valleys ;) (we used to get chased quite often but it was great)

When doing tricks and they flexed it was a great feeling....still don't have clue where they went though....  :-\

The-flying-banana:
What the golf balls ;D



















Down em hole's i,d imagine ;)

I used to love Z-Rims, yes they flexed like mad. The difference with the Z's was that compared with both Tuffs and alloy rims, they were almost impossible to chip, flatten, or break. Replace a couple of spokes and true them, and they were back to normal.

We used to do 180's off a ramp, land at an angle and bend them almost double. They would then straighten and throw the bike upright again (throwing you off at the same time). You might bend a spoke or three, but they were cheap to replace.

We also used to have drop off competitions on the local pier, who could drop off the highest point onto concrete without fooking either their wheels or their wrists. I flattened a whole bunch of alloys, took a big chunk out of a Tuff, but never a Z. I also now have a pair of 26" Z's with Phil Wood hubs, they run like a dream..

 ;D Christ I'm feeling defensive - can't we go back to bashing burners :D
