Help finding DJ rim

[Bryce]

I was at the aptos post office jumps last week and i was doin the main set and clipped the landing on the last jump really hard. I was just riding my bike today and realized that my rim was bent. So if anyone knows wich type of rim would be best for dirt jumping and affordable please let me know.
Thanks, Bryce

a set of hubs laced to mavic 729's made by a pro is bomb proof. 729's are a little bit more then most rims but they are the best. if u want bomb proof but dont care about weight perhaps u should go with atomlab. maybe even get an azonic outlaw wheelset? there pretty cheap and nice for how much they are.

ok thanks

It all depends on how much you want to spend. If you just replace the rim then you also need to pay for a build, which means new spokes and nipples.

If you're DJing a lot, and casing jumps pretty frequently (as a lot of DJ-ers do when they push themselves) then you should def. go with the Mavic EX729. Or, if you tend to land all your jumps pretty smooth you could opt for something lighter, like a Mavic EX721. I think 721'a are the perfect combo of lightness and durability. Both those Mavic rims are on the pricey side plus with a rebuild you're talking at least $120.

With $120 you could just buy a whole new wheel or wheelset, something like a used Atom Lab wheel or an Azonic Outlaw wheelset should be about that. Just be careful when buying used wheels, make sure to ask about proper spoke tension, rim dents and if the wheel is straight. Also check to see if the hub is tight.

oh yeahhh forgot about the 721's. those are SICK. like he said perfect combo of durability and lightness, but the 729s are industructable
