Pure crap. I might be tempted to use them on a 24" dirtjumper but NEVER for street.

Only if $230 is expensive for a wheelset.

im running 24" rynolites right now on my bike and they hold up fairly well as long as your not completely thrashing them, if your not that smooth they will bend but if you know what yor doing they will go forever.

^^^I compleatly agree...If your not a hack and arn't sending it huge rhynolite XL's are some of the best rims going for the last 10years....there's a reason why they still make them...the average pinkbike kids just dont get it, if your wrecking RL XL's your either a hack or built the wrong wheel for the hack riding you doo

You can ride street and DJ on Rhyno Lites. I did it for a couple years, and I know others who do it. You just shouldn't be a hack.

If you knew how to tension and true a wheel, Rhyno Lites are well worth it. It's all about the spokes -that should be your focal point.

I fully support Rhyno Lites, but I even more endorse MTXs, for that extra 100g per rim you rarely have to worry about tension.

That's why I said I'd consider them for 24" dirtjumping. Even smooth riders case ledges and land hard on the street sometimes. They flat spot pretty easy like that. There's not a 24" rim as light as these and with nice dirtjump landings they should hold up fine. There are better light 26" rims.
