After a few dings in my rear rim that I've been able to fix up, my rim finally had its last ride yesterday afternoon. This is the second rim that I've broken in 2 years, so I need some advice please.

 

To cover the usual questions, here goes:

 

My bike:

Commencal full suspension

Rims: Mavic 317 - front

DT Swiss - rear(that's the one that's bent now)

 

Tyre pressure: I didn't run tubeless lately, so tyres were pumped 2.5 - 3 Bar

 

My weight: 89kg

 

My riding style: I ride hard - loving the rocks and downhills

 

What rims are strong? Don't think I should go for XC rims again, maybe something more sturdy.

 

Should I go tubless? / What is the price difference these days?

 

Not looking to spend all of my cash, but need something that wil last.

 

Any suggestions, prices, etc.?
