This is the 4th DT Swiss rim I've seen squashed into sculpture this season. I think they are too racer specific for the average huck - monster or big mountain freechucker.
The Mavic is a good way to go.

yup. i got mavics on the v10 shondo. like, i cased the jump pretty good, but man it folded up kinda easy. i've never tried to make a bike too light but rather i like em bombproof. 729's are pretty bombproof.

Bit of duct tape and good as new! Mavics are the biz, I'm still running a 2004 set of D521 Ceramic and they're still true and smooth.

Heh...I have a D521 ceramic that I got used in 2001 that is still running great. No idea how old it really is, but it's still true! By far the most under-rated rim ever, IMO. If I didn't need big tires to make up for my lack of skill, I'd run them on my DH bike. Theyre just a bit narrow for the bigger rubbers...I run them on my "XC" bike, though.
