He didn’t mention that he cased a jump and that is what caused the cracks, he is presuming it, read the OP’s 1st. comment, the one I responded to again.
Same as the chain, chains don’t snap from too much power, they snap from cross-changing under pressure and the male plate pulls from the pin, most of the time it’s just a poorly installed pin to begin with.
Mountain bike wheels are meant to hold up to the abuse.
If your bike is insured for all risks, and you find your rims cracked, they should be covered without any questions.
I deal with insurance companies on bicycles weekly, and often make it clear to the assessor, when I feel a claimant is pulling a clever move.
I also understand the semantics and the loopholes they will go through to repudiate a claim especially when the bike is covered for all risks, and often the owner has to motivate to get the claim approved.
If you bothered to read my response properly, you will also read where I say the hubs will likely not be covered.
Will give you 6 out of 10 for trying 👍🏻
