You can get probably get either rim from Ken @ thetrialsinshop |

Jan 1, 2002 5:18 PM | | well the monty rims are much lighter than the alex rims. similar width. but the monty is wayyyyyy weaker. and not only is it weaker structurally it is also a softer aluminum which makes it easier to dent. and its also 130 dollars canadian vrs 50 bucks canadian for the alex rim. i got the alex on my monty and haven't had any problems. |

Jan 1, 2002 5:52 PM | | if you still wan't another alternative, Tioga makes a rim that is 36mm wide and quite light at 580gr or there abouts. Just grind the sidewall to get a good braking surface. Cambria has them going for cheap |
| Or dont grind the sidewall, Jeff doesnt. NM | ryan%
