I have built quite a few Archetype... the one that lasted the least was about 4,000 miles, while others did last up to 12,000. 6-7 K seems to be the average. There is no way you can wear a rim in 400 miles, unless you decide to descend the Galibier using sandpaper instead of pads, then maybe you can wear it even quicker than that
