Good: Have had these rims on a few different bikes and they have always held up to any abuse with ease in places like Northstar and Downieville.

From Universal Cycles:
This is the biggest and baddest rim in WTBs comprehensive line. The LaserDisc DH combines an extra wide, 34-millimeter profile with all the proven LaserDisc features (including I-Beam, Unbendium Bulge and Global Bead Seat). The result is a rugged and reliable hoop that can withstand anything from road gaps to cased landings to boulder fields.
  • Updated rim features: 1. WTB's Unbendium Bulge, a band of material on the sidewall that counters torsional, radial and lateral flex; 2. I-Beam vertical wall support counters spoke loads and further reduces flex; 3. Safety Seal is like a second bead inside the rim that the tire bead locks into preventing tire roll off under side loading; all have eyelets (disc only)
