DS650 Tires and Wheels
I've been using the .190 with the RAZR 2's and have had no problem. The rims before that were .190 too, but were with a different, and smaller, type of tire, and so the rims got bent up. Since I moved up to the 23 in front, and 22 in rear, with the RAZR 2, I haven't had any problem with rims bending, and I ride on nasty PA rocks too. The type of tire you choose can help protect your rims too.

I know where tower city is just cant comprehend why someone would want to pay $200.00 to ride with 2500 other people I ride in the free spots up that way where the bigger hills are at. I live just below pottsville I know what the rocks look like I run about 15psi in the front rims so I do not pinch a tire.

I use plain old ITP T9 wheels with Pure Sport Bandit XC tires. They seem to work well, and after a whole year of desert racing in the rocks, ... not one flat tire, and no bent wheels. There are a few large chunks torn out of the edge of wheels, but the wheels are still straight, and still hold air.
