the stans are just amazing rims, great strength to weight ratio, the mechanic at my lbs is a seasoned downhill racer, and he reckons the flow rim is overkill for downhill applications given the strength to weight of the crests
of course carbon rims will flex less but tend to be of a very similar weight
