I don't think you have anything to worry about with the Synergies. I rode
the machine-build QBP ones over all kind of terrain as my main off-road
bike for several years with no problems:

Bunny hop everything... post video.
I do small jumps on my 36-hole Synergy'd Homer all the time (curbs, my

What exactly do you mean by Bunny Hoppin'? Are you thinkin' of tryin' to
actually hop over something, clearin' it with both wheels? What is it that
you are tryin' to hop over? I've cleared railroad tracks (yes, both
tracks) on 280-gram sew-up rims (Fiamme yellow-label) and 25c sew-ups, when

prone to cracking around the eyelets. Supposedly this problem has been
addressed in recent production runs, but we'll see.
