keep bending rims.

[blaster12s]

i race mx. with maxxis razr mx's i had a set of beadlock douglass rims and bent them not like a noticeable bend but it made the rims oblong. got a new set of non beadlock douglas' rims and those now have a wobble too!!!! i run 10 psi in my tires is that to low or what do you guys think im doing wrong.

i dont want to jinx myself but ive always had good luck with douglas ultimate beadlocks. never had any luck with .190 non beadlocks or ITP non beadlocks.

ive bent some ITP fronts many of times. i would have to get a BFH and beat it out then air it up and back to the track i go. i finally got rid of those and got some douglas ultimate 4:1 fronts. since then ive been super happy.

if your a hardcore jumper and hard rider. then douglas ultimates are the best you can buy other than hipers which ive never tried. ive seen those bust as well

the thing is its not like a bend that i can heat up and bend out. ive done that stuff before. this is like takeing the perfect circle and makein them into an oval. is 10 psi to low?? or am i just landing to hard on them.

ive raced 3 years on my hypers and havent bent them, even though im racing xc. im very impressed with how they hold up smashing threw the rocks and whatnot...mabye that will help you a bit

try the champion in a box set.

iv heard some bad things about hipers... i think there cool but scared to get them. i like itp rims, except my buddys t-9 (cheapest) rim has got a few hacks around the edge

[mxpimp2000]

no offense to anyone or to ITP but they make crappy wheels but AWESOME tires. douglas has alot of rims out and very strong at that. the fronts i had were T-9 and i would bend them every time i rode.

my buddy is using the ITP beadlocks on the rear and they have the reingforced rings on the inside so they seem to be good rims so far.

carbon fiber the only way to go

I run 4.5 psi front and rear. A few years ago I cased skyshot at unadilla and bent my "unbendable" LSR axle like a pretzel, my hipers came out fine. Still using them actually. I wont buy any other rim.
