The way in which the user is able to grip the hand-
rims is influenced by the handrim’s material and its
distance from the wheel.
Cellular rubber/ plastic coated handrims increases the
friction.
Violent braking can cause mild friction burns (e.g.
blisters).
Be careful when passing through narrow passages so
you don’t scratch your fingers.
Fingers may be pinched if get between the spokes.
Spoke protection is available as a means to prevent
pinching.
Aluminium, stainless, plastic-coated and cellular rubber
handrims for 24”, 22” and 20” rear wheel.
