36h rim options

[Ross W.]

I'm in the market for a new rear rim, but have a 36h hub. I like the look and color options of the Zhi and Echo, but apparently, they only come in 32h. Any other choices/recommendations besides Try-all and Alex? Anyone had any experience with the Viz rims on the rear?

Are you wanting to build 19" or 26" wheel? What kind of rear hub do you have? If you have Chris King, you know you can mail it back to them and get the hub shell changed to 32 (don't remember how much they charge, I am sure someone on this forum can tell you).

oh yeah, I did neglect to mention what wheel size. It's a stock wheel.

I do have a king, sending it back sounds time consuming, but maybe it isn't I dont know.

I had the shell swapped on my rear iso this past June, I didnt wanna be bothered any more to look for 36h rims. I was prepared to pay whatever it cost for the convenience of ordering rims from anywhere, so the price for the whole job was no factor.
King charges $85 usd for an ISO rear shell, I don't know if the classic or bmx shells are less. Then $25 for labor, but it includes complete overhaul/rebuild of the ring drive jazz, which I liked because I hadn't done anything to the hub since I got it in '01. Also you have to pay whatever the shipping costs are. Since I was all worried that customs were gonna hold up the hub for too long and I wasn't gonna have it in time for Raccoon Rally, I got the super fancy next day shipping from purolator, and it ran me like $80 cnd or something ridiculous, but it was mega fast so I was glad to pay it.
