Feelin' a bit rrranty
For sure, but a 720g rim is crazy heavy, and just making it heavier doesn't make it stronger. I chose XM481 as the comparison because it's benchmark trail/enduro rim that is widely used, popular, and performs well under a range of uses. Stepping up from there and 29" Stans Flow is 530g, EX511 is 570g and even an FR560 is only 635g in comparison.I'm close to 100kgs and as I no longer ride XC I can handle the weight. Would I notice it if they were lighter? Sure, but I just want to ride and not worry about breaking stuff.
