Thanks for all the tips and tests guys, very big help. My riding has gotten increasingly more stressful for my bike recently and I don't know if I can quite stop myself if I see a nice drop/jump, seesaw, or a couple of rock gardens. I know that the Marlin is not made for this kinda stuff so no need in telling me that again. I was wondering if there's maybe some more durable rims for cheap or any way that I make it to where I still have fun on my bike without beating the hell out of it. I don't really know what to look for in rims so any help will do. Thanks again guys
