But Rim wear in the winter is great way to end up with those super light
rims you've alway been dreaming of. Seriously, a worn rim can be
considerably lighter, easily by 100 grams or more. Obviously there is
point where the rim will break, but this has yet to happen to me. I've
either moved onto another wheel set or hit a huge pothole, or the rims I
have have that extra beef already. etc..
It's happened to me. Twice.
It sucks. The rim cracks, the tube explodes, your tire might also explode,
and you are walking home for sure. It's a good idea to keep those brake
pads clean and check the rims regularly for tiny dents or cracks that will
eventually crack big time.
