The rims have held up since mid august but the rear pinned seam is starting to go.

I rebuilt the rims a couple weeks ago and measured the rims with a micrometer.  The revenge rim is identical to the quadrant rim.  Not a bad rim at all and I am surprised they have held up this long (lots of cases etc.).  I really don't want to buy a whole wheelset just to get rims again.

Does anyone know is these aftermarket rims will be offered in 22"?  Apparently they have a welded seam.

Jay over at S&M said they were in the 22" game for the long haul, so I'm betting that those rims will be made in 22" also. :cheers:

Get it finished and post up some pics!!

I'm going to stay out of the Jack tonight until I get it finished, then take a couple pics. I must say it looks awesome and is surprising very lite.

What Texas distro are you talking about?  Is it a bicycle distro?



Bruce is awesome.

No doubt Bruce is the man. :cheers:

Do they have the tires? Someone else told me you could order them but they were not expected to ship them until the end of the year.

I almost did strip the ano off them and had them polished but I figured screw it I'll run the black wheels until someone makes a nice chrome hoop then I'll swap them out.

Thanks guys. I'm still bummed that I could not get chrome hoops since no one makes them, so they will be black aero Velocity hoops laced to polished Profile mini hubs.

This is the only thing holding me back. I want lightweight high psi non dirt tires. The minute the release them is when I order my Holmes.

I heard S&M is going to make some better quality 22" tires in the near future, might want to shoot them and email and see if they are making a street tread one.

I'm currently gathering parts to build a 22" ride already have a custom frame from Standard. I'm hoping someone comes out with some nice welded chrome 22" hoops so I can get the wheels built the way I want them.

ok boys and girls, i'm looking into buying a 12 guage... any suggestions?
not looking to spend more than 3 or 4 hundred.

my buddy has an 870 express but i have read mixed reviews online about their machining not being quite as good as the wingmaster and causing some reloading issues.

just curious if there are any other guns i should be looking at in that price range?
experiences with 870 expresses?

I have an older 870 that has always been smooth as silk and would cycle anything you put in it without issue. I also have a newer 870 Super Magnum that will jam when trying to cycle the fired shell out if I use anything other then Remington ammo. My newest 12 guage is a Remington SPR-453 semi auto also known as the Baikal MP-153. It is a Russian made gun that Remington imported in and put their name on. They can be had for less then $400 new and will cycle anything I feed it smoothly. The fit and finish is not  the greatest but the gun is built very well and is the best priced auto loader on the market.
