Consequently they are cracked and full of potholes. Plus many of the locals think they have a right to toss their empties out on the street. Like I said, the city was and is a fine testing ground for wheels, tires, and headsets. I would not have recommended those rims to the OP for a ride like the CINO BITD. Ive done my share of gravel riding on GP 4 s back before anyone knew that was a thing. They will hold up.
