    i have to ask why Trials wheels?

    you will be better of dumping them back on the bay and get some XC wheels.

    tbh i think you may have problems with the V's but who knows. i think you will be the first person to try this.

    and i dont think they will be much if any stronger than some decent XC width rims.
