  • Get the specs from H+ on the wear limit for the rim then get him to measure. It could be there is stacks of life left in them, the builder is just duly warning you of the cost of rebuilding a rim thats maybe half way done isn't the best longer term solution (so a good guy).
    Also maybe review the pad material you are using. For winter I swear by the cheaper clarks triple compound jobs (V brake block, v brake cartridge and shimano road cartridge type), they last a very decent amount of time are kind on rims and routinely less than a fiver a pair on CRC, they feel nice and firm through the lever too unlike some other winter pads
