Need to get some new rims. I've been riding Mavic XM819's. I thought cross country lite and all mountain strong. Turned out not to be so strong. I've put a few flat spots in them. I'm definitely not too brutal of a rider, like to think I've got some finesse. Anyway, who's got a favorite all mountain rim. I'm thinking either the Mavic EN521 or AtomLab Trial Pimp Lite. Dunno much about DT's and the Sun's are too heavy. Gimmie some ideas. Thanks.

I've got a en521 on the front w/ an ex721 out back on my trail bike. The 521 has help up fine through lots of abuse, and I finally managed to put a little wobble in it after a nose case.
If you are denting the 819 though you may want to go ahead and look at the 721. The 521 uses a softer alloy than the maxtal of the 819/721, so you are likely to be denting the 521 just as easily.

Arrow FRX. I cannot kill these rims. They're not that heavy either. Hecho en U.S.A.!
