Rim choices.

Singletracks. If they're built right they're bullit proof. I just cracked a 325 and I'll never run them again. They're heavy and weak. I've heard good things about the Outlaws but I've never run them. Personally I like building my own wheels because they seem to hold up better than prebuilts, so I'd go for Singletracks. Also, JensonUSA has a blowout on Rhyno Lite XLs on XT hubs w/ black spokes and nips for $130, that's what I have right now because of the price.
If it were me, I'd rate them
1)Singletracks
2)Rhyno Lite XLs from Jenson
3)Outlaws
4)325s, but I would never run these
Hope that helps!

i run the rhyno lites and have for years. i like em. not so expensive, and last a long time.
i run arrow dhx in 32 hole. had them for 4 yrs and still perfect. had to replace the front rim only because my car was rear ended w/ my bike on the trunk rack. haha.
i suggest
rhynolite xl 36 hole
new atomlab trail pimp and aircorp ( i hear the newer ones are lighter/same strength)

I have singletracks on my DJ bike. They seem to be a good strength/weight ratio without any really bad issues or problems. Plus I got the entire wheelset for dirt cheap over the holidays. You can find a QR wheelset, XT disc hubs, and singletracks for usually under $150 (if you wait until the right sales or discounts they can be had for much less).
I have EX721's from Mavic and Arrow DHX's on different bikes. If I had the cash, I'd go the EX721's as they are pretty beefy for DJ stuff. They weigh close to the singletracks but are known in the DH world for being tuff.

Depends on the bike. On a full suspension if it can take a 12mm you can usually feel that it is stiffer. On a hardtail I dunno.......I've only had QR's and never had a problem or issue. Just tighten it down and forget it.Craig! said:
Now 20mm up front is much stiffer than QR up front. The Azonic outlaw wheelset you can change everything from 20mm/QR or QR/12mm TA. That is a nice feature. The only problem is the wheels aren't the lightest for DJ'ing and such.
I'm happy with my singletracks so far. First sun product I've owned and it doesn't seem too bad. I got them on sale for $109 laced to XT disc hubs. If they explode I'll buy a better set of rims and just go from there. The rear takes much more abuse then the front does so if the singletrack just eats it in the rear you have lots of choices.
i would definetly recommend the sun single tracks. they are a nice, strong wheel for whatever you are gonna do, and they arent that heavy. I ride with trailpimp DHRs right now from atomlab, and i would recommend those also.
ya the single tracks are great!jensonusa has a wheelSET for $145 with xt hubs! i would have to agree with jesse(bighit756) also, any atom lab rims are great! take a look at the halo line up of rims also!

that said, i taco'd my rear rhyno lite last night. I've had it for about 2 years, and finally had to get a new rim today. I bought a sun ringle mammoth rim. They've been around a long time, and are stronger than the ryhno lite's. so i just wanted to follow up this post.
retard - odyssey doesnt make MTB parts - GET a MTX rim set up super nice
