DT-Swiss 445D and rider weight

[RudoJ]

Ok, so as part of my new fitness, training and diet regime, I got myself a MTB with these rims on (26", alloy double wall disc, pin joint, eyelets, 28h front and 32h rear).

Had my first race for the year over the weekend (USN Cup, 30km).

While washing the bike afterwards I saw the max rider weight is 90kg's, I'm already down 3 from December but still 9kg above the limit.

 

Am I stuck and have to get other rims, or would they be ok?

 

I dont do hectic riding, a race once/twice per month, dirt road long rides the other weekends and IDT during the week. Groenkloof also in between if time permits.

You should be fine, those are strong rims (if a bit heavy) and if you aren't doing too hectic technical riding they will stand up fine. Also a good motivation to drop those last 9.
