staehpj1 - how do you wear out a rim using rim brakes? Haven't heard of that before, but it is entirely possible i guess.
To be fair it take a lot of miles, but rims do eventually wear out at the braking surfaces. I had to replace a wheel due to a worn out rim that actually split bear the bead on my southern tour trip. To be fair the rim probably had 100k miles on it, I have had a couple other rims get close to failure in a similar manner. The side of the rim just wears until it is thin. Some rims have wear indicators.
