i see, maybe my rims are just crappy. i bent mine the first second and third days i rode my road bike when i first got it..... until i learned to take it easy. i hear up above^^^^ about two inch bunny hops i think those would be fine. i think it just depends how you do it. personally i wouldnt hop anything over about 6 to 8 inches tho lol it just ends up badly on a road bike imo. i guess i will now here from many 200+ pound roadies who bunny hop every day. maybe i need stronger wheels=/
