It seems that .190 Douglas Rim is best.

it realy depends on what kind of riding you are doing, the .120 are light and bent easily if abused where as trail riders and other agressive riders may opt for the .190 for the strength.

oh and if your really planning on doing mx get beadlocks your just wasting your money in .190 because they will bend and its a pain filling up your tire every ride. its okay to have .190 in the front. Wink

no, because the water leaks out and air gets in.

When doing MX, some riders will opt to fill up their front tires with water instead of air because you don't really want the front tires to "float" on top of the turf, you want them to "dig".  Water doesn't give as much as air, so the tire doesn't deform and "float" over the terrain, instead , with water, the tire willdig down into the turf till it reaches hard enough ground to support it.

Beadlocks sandwich the bead on the rim so it cant be rolled off the rim, it also strengthens the rim. Get the .190s, anything lighter is for drag racing not jumping.
