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. Rob wrote: yea, i wasin abitofa rush to comment so didn't say all i wanted to, is it any different in weight? obviously stronger and better braking, pity i dont have one 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.
