Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Rims. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Spank Oozy Trail 395+ MTB Rim.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Spank Oozy Trail 395+ MTB Rim is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Rims. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Rims. Brands like Spank are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Rims category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Rims.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

  • Description: Spank Oozy Trail 395+ MTB RimFinally, an ultra-wide alloy rim with Trail weight and true All Mountain strength! Spank Industries’ Oozy Trail 395+ rims were designed to optimise the performance of both plus-size and modern “high volume” standard tyres. The Oozy Trail 395+ rim’s 35mm internal width is the perfect solution for riders seeking an ultra-wide aggressive Trail rim that doesn’t tip the scales. Combining Spank’s proprietary Dynamal alloy, patented Oohbah profile, and Bead Bite tubeless rim hooks, The Oozy Trail 395+ offers the perfect blend of strength and stiffness with unparalleled tubeless performance. You don’t have to go fat to go ultra-wide with the OOZY Trail 395+ rim.Features:Material: MGR Dynamal Alloy ERD: 27.5": 554mm; 29": 591mm ETRTO: 27.5": 584x35mm; 29": 622x35mm Hole Count: 32h Inner Width: 35mm Outer Width: 39.5mm Valve: Presta Tubeless: Tubeless ready Finish: Shotpeen anodised with laser etched logos Discipline: Trail Weight: 27.5": 560g; 29": 590g Technologies:Bead Bite (Anti Burp Technology): Running tubeless? No stress! At an incredible range of pressures, Bead Bite is the solution to keeping those tyres burp free and fixed in place. Bead Bite rim technology, paired with Spank‘s patented OohBah profile, enhances tubeless use with tyres of all types and with a greater range of air pressures.Bead Bite rims have 6 rows of tiny ridges that run along the vertical and horizontal faces of the bead seats. These tiny teeth create air seals between the rim and tyre as the bead conforms into them under air pressure. They dramatically increase frictional forces on the tyre bead, reducing the bead‘s ability to move vertically or horizontally (thus improving tyre stability and reducing burps). The bead literally becomes trapped between the vertical and horizontal ridges, even at very low air pressures. Even in tubed applications, Bead Bite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with a reduced risk of pinch flats.OohBah (Reverse Well Design): The unique OohBah profile allows Spank to manufacture thinner walled, wider profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tyre spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tyre performance. The “wave” shape of the OohBah inner tube adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevents buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support.BeadNip (Improved Tyre Fit): Another secret of Spank’s patented OohBah profile is our double BeadNip technology. The OohBah patent includes the addition of a second set of “nips” on the inner tube well, which ensures that the tyre always remains in the bead-seat, even when riding at minimal air pressures. With Spank’s OohBah patented rims, you can ride the tyres you want, at the pressure you want, on any terrain with far less fear of flats!Dynamal Alloy: Utilising the endless lifecycle of aluminion, Spank’s proprietary alloy blends offer superior mechanical properties resulting in stronger rims and reduced weight through optimised design. Spank Industries has made a concerted effort to develop safe and affordable alternatives to the excessive use of carbon fibre in the bicycle manufacturing industry. Its WC DH Race Teams and most hardcore Big Mountain Freeriders are running Spank’s Dynamal Alloy rims in the choice against carbon fibre. Unlike standard recycled alloy mixes, Dynamal is a dynamically aged, highly magnesium-silicon enriched, pure alloy, which is blended with a special “secret” hardening metal. Compared to statically aged traditional alloy types, Dynamal shows a significant further increase in ultimate tensile strength and yield, without the normal reductions in fatigue life.MGR (Micro Grain Refinement Processed Alloys): Micro Grain Refinement Processes such as extrusion, forging and tube drawing can increase the strength of alloy materials by reducing the grain size. Spank uses state of the art proprietary metal forming methods, which further improve grain size, consistency and orientation, beyond that of our competitors. No other bars or rims are subjected to the number of drawing steps or level of refinement as those offered by Spank. This leads to greater ultimate strength, toughness, and ductility meaning confidence, comfort and safety.Buy¬†Spank Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
