It's a good rim so it should last a while. If it don't i'll just get an Araya or mabey an Odyssey Duralectra.

It's very light, weighs almost nothing, it's the 1st rim to be made out of 7000 series alu hense the name 7ka which has a far superior strength to weight ratio over 6000. All top alu frames will be 7000, cheapo halfords frames will be made of 6000. Funny how even mavic still use 6000, all be it a good grade of. The braking is awsome, my riding has improved no end lately being able to ride 1 finger again.

Ah nice, where are you getting the hazard rim from, they don't make um anymore? Shame, as they are super strong, much like the Araya Himiko, probally more so than any other Odsy rim ever made.
