As per title really, would you? Tempted to track down a set of used Edge Composites AM rims, but I do wonder if a secondhand set is a risk or not? Waddayareckon STW experts? ๐Ÿ™‚

No, but then I have an aversion to buying anything 2nd hand thats not nearly new or old marzocchi.

From bitter experience, its better to buy stuff in the sale for 3/4 RRP, than 50% RRP having already seen half its usable life.

I wood. I'd be looking for lots of pics, an accurate description and much cheapness though.

Would be kind of surprised if folk were selling them TBH, rims are a rare find SH.

Xrays would be good, but not realistic I wouldn't think? Not something the average seller is going to have access to is it...

much cheapness though

USD$700 for two rims (RRP is something like USD$1700 isn't it)? Described as having only seen 'moderate trail use' and in great condition with no damage, just 'normal' surface scuffs and sticker nicks from use...
