been rolling WTB i29 rims on Hope Pro 4 hubs for a couple years now. had a set of 27.5 that i ran for 2 seasons and barely needed a true. no inserts and quality casing tires. pressures in the low 20s. admittedly a lot of my riding is on buff idaho trails, but in my own mind i ride fairly aggressively. my only dents have occurred on the OEM versions of these rims after a direct hit and too low of pressures. currently have a set of 29” wheels (i29 on Pro4s) on my hardtail that will migrate over to my full suspension bike shortly, and to future builds as well!
