Hey man I’m a mechanic and the reason that they have specific brake pads for carbon rims is because regular brake pads will eat up and tear up the side wall of the rim. Yeah the regular and clear pads will stop fine they stop better even than the carb specific ones but you want to use the carbon ones trust me. Even different brands of carbon wheels in the mtb/road world have specific pads and not supposed to interchange them even between brands. Sometimes they just discolor the wheel or dull them out real bad but those regular pads will eat away at the rim
I wish I had ur bike lol I currently have a bike my grandparents got from somewhere (it’s pretty old ) I just wish I had enough money to get a decent bike
7:45 - That made me think of Scotty talking about how he could have bought a used BMW for the cost of his bike... LoL Every time someone talks about carbon fiber rims, I instantly think of Danny Macaskills destruction of a set of carbon rims.... He literally jumped a huge set of steps w/ them multiple times and intentionally cased stuff, it was difficult to watch but I also couldn't look away because it was impressive.
While watching the portion of the video about the build process for Carbon rims I noticed that many pets of the process are done by hand. I feel like with layering of carbon this would greatly increase quality control issues. That said I would love a set of carbon rims.
The new freestyle ECLAW carbon fibre rims look good at $ 500 each Australian so they should be a lot cheaper in the USA 🇺🇸.l would like you to do a video on them since there’s is not a lot review on them if you can (PLEASE) .... Great videos and RUclips channel )👍👍🇦🇺
I think carbon rims are a really good addition to BMX (except for the price) but Id really like to see someone who does a lot of grinds ride them for a year 👀 Might get beaten up when grinding especially some rough street ledges idk🤷♂️
Your video gives me that bit of confidence I'd want if I were buting one. "If it lasted Mike a year, I ain't gonna break it unless I do somethin' dumb." I saw the Eclat version at LUX BMX but might seem how much the Aliennation ones are cuz that breaking surface looks awesome!
Yea because the rims I ride I don’t have an issue with compared to cinema, cult and BSD and rant that I’ve ridden. Not to say all things don’t fail, I just haven’t had that with these. 🤘🏽

My current build is all white with purple accents. White exposed carbon would be ideal for me.
Silver, titanium, coffie, or chrome color if that's possible would be cool

This is a 1-year review that ran Eclat clear pads without wear.
I got the Eclat carbon rims, I’m super excited to try them out. They are T H I C C C!!!
I definitely wanna try the eclat carbon rims
eclat rims is more for street use, not the alienation
I'm thinking about getting the Eclat Carbonic rims as well. A little heavier than Alienation's carbon rims, but hopefully stronger.
hey how did it go??
Looked like they could use a truing.
I wish I had ur bike lol I currently have a bike my grandparents got from somewhere (it’s pretty old ) I just wish I had enough money to get a decent bike
That's the wrong way to go about life just be gratefull for what you have there are people that have less than you
A carbon/kevlar version would be sick with tan sidewalls!

nothing is better then an alex triple wall
Toothpaste coloured rim would be awesome!
I honestly would love some pink carbon for my bmx lol
They should make them in all their old colours including the old gold and also make them in 26” for DJ bikes
I have seen coloured carbon rims recently. Was white. But I'm sure you could paint em too.
@@Smokey7186 yeah. They can use acrylic on carbon resin.
Berd Bike spokes next?
I’ve talked with them. I think I’ll try them soon🤘🏽🤘🏽

Been waiting a year for this
Nice video! Intro was really awesome! too late for NORA cup though!
Price tag for my dream build is 6000.
Logan martins had a white one for a while now
That’s awesome they look great still . Can’t wait to grab a pair! Always wanted the gt carbon mag ?wheels back in the day .

Think you’ll ever link back up with Scotty and the boys to ride their new park ?
I’m always down. If we can plan it out I’d be open to it. I live 2 hours away and full time business and family man ❤️
@@MikeFede I get it brother. Just an idea. Miss seeing all y’all together sometimes.
Is worried about rotational weight has stupid ass valve caps 😂
😂🤡
Does carbon rim expired ?
f the rims i wanna knoe what cranks those r the chrome ones with the cutouts
Might be cool if you can stomach the cost.
Other rim companies have moved on in the last 10 years. Your belief that "Alienation are the best rims hands down" is very bias.

future? tubeless yes. carbon no.
