Shadow Conspiracy – Truss Rim

June 7, 2017

Let’s take a closer look at the new Truss Rim from The Shadow Conspiracy!

Is it time for a new BMX Rim? Have you given The Shadow Conspiracy‘s new Truss Rim a look yet? This Double Wall rim is made from heat-treated 6061-T6 alloy with a welded seam with internal chambers that use a bridge inspired design making it strong and reliable. The Truss rim is 38mm wide with centerline spoke drilling and an increased spoke area to help limit spoke pull through and increase the overall structural strength. This 36-hole rim has an 394 ERD.

The Truss Rim from The Shadow Conspiracy is available in Black, Arsenic, Raw Polished, Crimson Red, Ignite, Livid Purple and Polar Blue, weighs in at 17.75 oz. with a price tag of $64.99. You can pick this rim up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide or direct from the Shadow Conspiracy webstore.

Here is a look at the rim in their new Arsenic color.

Crimson Red.

What do you think of this wild Ignite color?

Another new color. Livid Purple!

Looking for something a little cool? Polar Blue is for you.

Raw Polished. Clean and simple.

“The design of the Shadow Truss rim is focused around the same principles as modern bridge design in architecture. Considering the effects of compression as well as tension, the Shadow Truss rim is designed as a very rigid structure and one that transfers the load from a single point to a considerably wider area. These details create a stronger and more impact resistant rim to keep you rolling.” – The Shadow Conspiracy
