ECI today announced the arrival of the brand spanking new Alienation BMX Malice and Mischief TCS2.0 alloy rims.

The original Alienation Malice and Mischief rims are some of the most popular rims on the market. As an alloy rim they rival some of the lightest carbon rims around at just a fraction of the price.

So what’s new? There are some additional sizes including OS20, 26″ and 29″.  To the naked eye they are the same shape, however they allow for Alienation’s improved TCS2.0 tubeless system and there are further weight savings. Check ’em out.

Manufacturer’s Description

Alienation BMX’s TCS introduces a more robust, easily installed, and dependable tubeless system. A recessed channel along the center of the TCS rim allows installation off the all-new Solid Strip, which prevents tubeless tape from sagging at the spoke holes and results in a smooth, consistent interface between the tire and rim. Installation of the stout Solid Strip allows for more pliable, and easy to install, Flex Tape to provide the airtight seal needed for a tubeless system.

Malice TCS2.0 (Rear)

The TCS2.0 (Tubeless Compatible System) Malice uses the most advanced drilling pattern of any bicycle rim on the market today. Our new 4D drilling with chamfer process creates the optimal interface between spoke and rim. This exact angle reduces binding and the need for eyelets. The I-Beam is distinctive, centrally located vertical support counteracts spoke loads and provides torsional rigidity. NO RADIAL LACING. These rims are designed and drilled for 3 cross specifically. Each TCS2.0 Malice rim comes with a Velo valve plug for the unused valve hole (TCS2.0 Malice rim drilled for both TCS and Schrader).

Mischief TCS2.0 (Front)

The TCS2.0 (Tubeless Compatible System) Mischief uses our new 4D drilling process less chamfering, of which; creates the optimal interface between spoke and rim. This exact angle reduces binding and the need for eyelets. NO RADIAL LACING. These rims are designed and drilled for 3 cross specifically. Each TCS2.0 Mischief rim comes with a valve plug for the unused valve hole (TCS rims are drilled for both TCS and Schrader).
