Has anyone had experience with the Raceface ARC HD rims? From the past raceface rims I thought they were kinda soft and easy to dent. These have a 3mm spoke offset which is nice for even tension, and hard to find with alloy rims.
I have no experience personally with these, but a friend of mine did good 2 seasons on them before they bit the dust. Which I'd consider a pretty impressive length of time for a big guy where I'm located.
Around 5 years on my hardtail and they have been solid. No truing, no dents, haven't touched a nipple. I think the softness reputation comes from the OEM "AR" version of these rims.
I snagged a take off set from a V10 a few years back (Raceface ARC HD 29" on DT 350s) and they've treated me well on the dh bike. Probably not as strong as the FR560s that I've run in the past though.

Very durable rim from my experience,imho on par with dt511.

Awesome rim. I tend to kill rims but after a couple seasons, my ARC 30 HD is going strong.
