Fast reply please!!
Leaving soon to go get the part.
I bent some of the spokes on my rear wheel, I am going to buy a new wheel, what do you suggest? Im a dirt jumper, and just a casual trail rider. 26x2.10 that is the tire size. Thanks! Please reply fast, I need to get this part soon!

Rhyno Lite rims are the standard to which other rims are compared for dirt jumping. They are relatively affordable too. Not the easiest rim to install tires on.

I don't have much experience with MTB stuff, but why haven't they moved to deep section rims for increased strength? Weight penalty?

Dunno. Velocity Aero Heat is another pretty tough mountain bike rim. It has a semi-aero section but I don't know anybody who has used them for an extensive period of time. My sons, on the other hand, have done some serious drop offs with Rhyno Lites so that's where my experience lies.

Since the typical MTB rim is much wider, the resultant peak would be huge. In all honesty, I think a well constructed box rim with cross bracing would be as strong if not stronger than a deep section rim.

For casual trail and moderate jumping you can't go wrong with Rhyno Lites. They even used to stand up well to the big drops if the rider landed it well. For the other times where it's a near crash then the new more beefy rims are a better call. At least that's what the big drop guys around here switch over to.

Thanks guys, they are replacing the spoke right now, I will tell you how it goes, they said it might not work, if it doesn't I am just getting a new wheel.
