It might have, obviously, but you wouldn’t be as gutted.
. Placebo effect is real.
Derby. Ews round. Not a particularly bad looking case onto a rock.
They rock back and forth (laterally) around the spoke nips. There used to be an excellent slo-mo vid of them getting pounded down a really rough rock section on the product website and you could actually see the rims rocking back and forth. How spoke/nipple longevity would fare had me interested/puzzled...
I'd like to say yes, but more general hard trail riding and only EXO. But we are very rocky, low traction here and pinch flatting is always a potential issue. I run an ARD presently. I hear you but I'm not fretting over 100g and I still wouldn't find a carbon wheel for the same price anywhere.They rock back and forth (laterally) around the spoke nips.

This graphic is a bit exaggerated but show the jist:
I think they would work as advertised, but wouldn't bother buying them unless I was taking up riding DH. Are you riding so hard you're pinch-flatting DD or DH casings currently @DMan? If your riding is more general trail riding/EXO/EXO+ casings, the Moto 3Zeros add ~100gr over a similarly strong carbon rim for minimal benefit (IMO).
I'd be gutted if I cracked anything. I'm gutted when I open an egg carton I bought and realise I've missed that one of the eggs is cracked...It might have, obviously, but you wouldn’t be as gutted.
TBH, the only people I know running them are ZIPP sponsored, so they are less worried than I would be about smashing one (or paying for a set)
I don’t break alloy, and spend less on a complete bike than they cost, so clearly I’m not their target audience.
Go nuts, I say. You’ll definitely love them
I agree with this. Mainly Stans rims, but I do have one set with Hope DH rims. Prefer the Stans for everyday use (imagined or not). Felix only rides the Hope DH, but as you say, it’s about longevity on his bikes.
You know these aren't going on a plane right?
Obviously hatless and his brain is overheating, or wetting.
It boggles the mind when that hat is sitting there and clearly made for him.
My wife commandeered it.
Nothing is sacred in the world. Not even hats now
Least she could do is send a thank you note to the return address. Whoever that is.
I think she’s sending some vegan treats. That poor bastard.
Is that a before and after photo?
I've actually had that mousse. It's actually very good. Before, and satisfyingly after.
