I got Hutch hubs laced to bent and chrome pitted Araya 1.50's. Wanna change the rim for something lightweight and good for freestyle so like it won't bend on rock walks. So is the Sun Envy rear rim good enough for a wheelsets? Anyone use these rims for freestyle and how did they hold up?

Right now I'm unemployed and can't afford oldschool NOS chrome or silver Arayas on ebay. So I gotta mix newschool rims with my Hutch hubs.

I got this Fly Bikes rim and rock walks blow the wheel off true. I don't know if the rim is bending, but it looks sturdy.

Any of you got the Fly Bike rim too and how does it hold up?

the Rhyno Lite XL is a good, strong rim that's still lightweight. I wouldn't mess with Envy rims on anything but a race bike. Even the Big City Lite is still lite with being even stronger then the Rhyno.
