hi, im buying new front and rear wheels, the hope pro ll hubs with either the dt swiss 5.1 or 6.1 rims but arent sure which to get, i ride cross country so do alot of uphills so they dont want to weigh a tone but i also ride really rocky stuff, drops, jumps and a bit of downhill, so im not sure if the 5.1s will be strong enough and considering im buying new wheels because my rear wheel is so bent it wont turn round i dont want to buy the 5.1s and bend them aswell. thanks for any help.

    I would hazard a guess that the 5.1s will be fine. If you really aren't sure then go for the 6.1s as a bit of extra insurance. You will notice the drag on the climbs though.
