Agreed. I was lucky enough to be a late adopter to the wide rim club so missed out on a bunch of bad ideas, but when I did get there I used Rhyno Lite XL's as my benchmark for acceptable weight. I had rode the hell outta those rims in earlier years and never had a problem with them that couldn't be blamed on something I did. Every time I decided to try a lighter rim I inevitably bought twice in close succession, and that's held true since the 90's.
