    These rims have weight limit of 90kg (rider and bike) specified by DT Swiss. This mean 80kg rider weight limit and a hard tension limit of 1100N. Exceed either at the expensive of the rims. Keep under and the rims are fine. the RR465 is out of production the RR440 is very robust so that is the current choice. Looking back at this thread the OP is 90-95kg which exceeds means the OP should never have been on them. The bad reputation of the rim is simply down to riders/wheelbuilders exceeding its design limits, you can't balme the rim for that you can blame the wheel builder who selected them though.

    It's very likely the OP has them on a set of "factory" DT Swiss wheels
