Most MTB rims aren’t designed to take grav/road pressures - I had my hubs rebuilt into the grav specific DT GR531DB which are a beastly 28mm external/24mm internal and each weighs about 100g more than the hope rim - time will tell but hoping I’ve found the right balance of quality, weight and strength.
@r.hobbs maybe, I have heard other tales of this happening to hope rims.
