i just picked these beauties up and wondering how rare these are?

Peregrine didn't make one style of rim. Peregrine was actually a driving force behind alot of the mid-school thinking. Try posting pictures and giving a little more info than 36hole wheels. Without pictures, they are so rare, we can't even see 'em.

Asking how rare your new wheelset is (especially without models names/numbers or even a picture) is akin to asking for an enema after four days of pain. Everyone hopes you find "answers" but no one wants to help you with it.

not that rare, my bro has a set on his Robinson and they seem to be nice rims.

i cant post for some reason. it wont let me load pics! i did post pics on another popular website but this one doesnt let me load up. im dd pro on the other website. any info is appreciated.

There are only a few Peregrine wheels that'll be worth hanging onto for a non-riding build/investment.

Email them to me and I will see if I can post them up. I sent a PM with my email...

These are Peregrine Madd Max 20" rims/hubs/spokes. Heavy duty to say the least. This style of Peregrines are extremely rare. Only a few sets were made. They show up on eBay maybe once a year.


The next two pictures were my set of 24" 36h MADD MAX wheels (rims and hubs). These wheels used standard spokes. The whole MADD MAX line was indestructable. This set of wheels took me about a year to track down parts. I don't think the standard spoke Peregrine hubs and rims are as rare as the stuff posted above but they are harder to find as collectors seem to like this style more (parts, spokes in particular, are easier to find). In the first pic, you can see two small neon colored boxes that had MADD MAX brake lever and V Brakes. Sorry about the terrible lighting.



I guess I deleted my other Peregrine stuff but they also made a 20" wheel that had 10 composite spokes that attached to the hub/rim via rivets. I have only ever seen one set of those. They look somewhat like the six spoke Synergy MTB rims of the same era.

Hope that helps.

I figured he may have had the ones that resemble the Araya RB-17s...

kcmo . yes they are like the rb 17s but cant beleive the condition. they cleaned up nice.

The only thing on the rims that I could see that would indicate model # is a sticker that says...

PEREGRINE

SD-20 JAPAN


Either way, they are in relatively good shape.

thanks bosshogg, i saw these and was like okeedokee ill take em!

not that they are not rare but they are just not sought after... my brother has a pair on his bike and 1 extra front. they are pretty nice wheels. what hub came laced into yours? his has some "planet earth" hubs with a cassette rear and the spare has a gt mohawk. both were factory laced.

It's a shame that Peregrine didn't make it through the "lean" times of BMX. Most of the stuff they made were innovative and of good quality.

they had peregrine around them but were falling off and just polished them out

it says suzue on the covers of the bearings!

so how much would mine be worth? i have some mad max rims as in the above pics, 48 spokes laced to haro hubs
