Sun Ringle Sun Rhyno Lite 700c 36h Black Rim w/ Silver sides

Review of the Sun Ringle Sun Rhyno Lite 700c 36h Black Rim w/ Silver sides:

I built up a set of 29er wheels using these rims two years ago. I use them on my primary bike, which is used for aggressive xc riding. I have hardly touched them - they stayed very true despite lots of abuse.

That is, until I took a nasty fall and managed to pinch one wheel between two rocks and then throw all my weight on it. It bent badly, but I was able to bend it back in place and finish the ride. Once I got home I trued it as best I could and then rode it for another 2 weeks before my replacement rim arrived. I was amazed that it didn't fold completely.

The downsides to this rim are its weight and the lack of tubeless compatibility. Since I ride with tubes, the latter isn't an issue. And I'd trade weight for durability any day.

I'm 200 lbs. plus gear and I have a penchant for breaking things. These rims never flinched. Get them if you want a wheel that you won't have to worry about.
