    Please, I beg of you... do NOT buy these rims if you intend to ride your bike offroad. They are
    super-flimsy aluminum rims that will not survive their first impact. Often come specced as the stock
    wheels on $300 bikes.

    I've got a set. Have worked fine for me with no problems whatsoever. I am 165 lbs and ride them
    off-road but no freeriding.

    Do you hop a lot of logs and ride rooty/rocky terrain? I don't do ANY jumps (not yet anyway). I'm
    around 185 lbs.

    Agreed. I may have had a [censored] wheelbuild, but my wheels with Zac rims were the purest poo.

    I hop logs/roots, but no rocks here where I ride. Maybe it's a matter of rider weight? I thought
    they were a little heavy, so I am eBaying them (gone with Mavic CrossLinx - which I will need to
    true now, ironically) but other than that I was happy with them. Good luck!
