well at 200 lbs i wasn't interested in the Flow rim for DH, like i said above. but look at all the lighter DH riders out there on DT 5.1d rims (for example). in terms of width, the flow is wider than a 721 and nearly as wide as an 823, i think.
what concerns me about the Flow rim is the low sidewall height. seems like that would compromise hoop stiffness. and my other concern is the lack of eyelets.
but if there are 150 lb DH riders on the Flow rim, then i'd consider it for my all-mountain bike.
