Now on 29er version as well, on a hardtail. We talked about em on the weekend. I have them on an anthem 29 and although it's early days I do wonder about longevity. I guess theyre bedding in but they do a bit of creaking on climbs under load. Belting off the little drops at full pelt on the last descent at dargle the thought did flash through my mind that 'these are very light rims, better keep it neat in the air in case I land off line'. But Jason said he was really happy with his in terms of how solid they felt. As you said, he goes ok/pretty hard! *Probably* much better than me at picking lines!I believe red racer has been using the 26er version for some time. He goes ok.
Edit: Come to think of it the other worthwhile opinion I came across was from John Hardwick (ed of MBA). Ran into him on Kiera, man that guy knows his stuff... Anyway he did express reservations about alloy rims at that weight being durable, was keen to see how they stack up after some more use. He certainly has some experience... didn't fill me with confidence!!
