The new G-sport Ribcage rim is finally ready, it has passed final quality control. They now are available in 48H Chrome. Hard Anodised finish and 36's are on the next shipment. The price is a little higher than some other rims but this reflects the special material and finishes. The material used is around 20% stronger than even the 7000 series aluminium used for rims. And the hard anodising gives a black finish that performs nearly as well as chrome. Spoke holes are guaranteed not to pull through no matter what… Final production weights are 482g (1.06lbs) for hard anodised and 525g (1.15lbs) for chrome. The packaging is pretty cool too. We managed to find a way to use cardboard instead of plastic, this actually gives more protection to the rim during shipping and is better for the environment too.

Also in collaboration with Odyssey we have brought out the [url=http://www.odysseybmx.com/dailyword/] M7 wheel [/url] which is an Odyssey 7ka rim and spokes on a G-Sport Marmoset hub in a fancy new box.
