HutchHeaven Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Anybody have any input either way as to when these were made/sold and if they are any good???? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spur Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yes mid school, early to mid 90's. Very nice race quality set of rims. Are those the ones on the bay? I wish they were 1.75's because I am looking for a set. I think the ones on the bay are 1.5's. Anyway to answer your question. Yes nice rims.

carldrexler Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 i think they only came in 20x1.5 it was the super 7x's that came out after the rb-17 that were 20x1.75. they were out around 93-95. normally would come on the top end team GT made bikes.

LABMX Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Old topic I know....but the RB-17's were some of the best BMX rims ever made. I raced them for years even as a full size (over size) adult and they remained straight as an arrow. Had a conversation with John Kovachi about them at a race around 2008-2009. John noticed that I was still running them and said at the time he would rather build with RB-17's than any other rim on the market. And if you knew John, you know he was well versed in wheels! Wish they were still made...colors with shiny side would be nice! The chrome version looked nice until the chrome became pitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
