Strengths: Light, looksWeaknesses: Bend easy, weakBottom Line: I can bend these without even trying. I only weigh 185, but if I come down with moderate force, they will wobble like theres no tomorrow. I would go with something stronger.

Strengths: Fine for lighter riders even on longer advanced intermediate rocky mountain trails. Strong for stock rims on cheaper bike.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: These are on the Mrs' bike. They came with CRAPPY Shimano 475 disc hubs (32 hole). I know the rims intimately as I check and true all our wheels etc. These have held up fine to XC use by a 140lb (loaded) rider for a couple of seasons - 2.1" tires. The hubs did not do so well. The rims are now used for commuting, thanks to those weak hubs. That's a shame as they're fine rims for the lighter, less aggressive (read female) rider. They may hold up to heavier stuff too, but they've not had the pleasure/pain of me riding them in the mountains, so I can't say if they can stand my weight, speed, or more aggressive style.
Another wheelset with better hubs (Sun SOS/Disc Jockey) is on mountain duty on the Mrs's bike. When the hubs that came with the SX24 rims completely die, I'll rebuild the wheels with better hubs and the undamaged SX24s will get back into the mountains to live out their days. I wouldn't choose these rims if I were building a wheelset for me (180lbs), but if they come with your bike and you're not too heavy, I wouldn't go out of your way to change them - unless the hubs are as weak as the shimano 475, in which case you're going to need another wheelset for proper mountain use sooner or later (probably sooner) - but that wouldn't be the rim's fault. Ride 'em.

Strengths: LightWeaknesses: Weak, bend easy.Bottom Line: These wheels are ok. They don't hold up very good when it comes to jumping and shredding down steep rocky trails. But if you ride like a normal person then they should be fine.
