I like the idea of @frankenbike refusing to buy a 2nd hand rim because it isn’t worn enough and hasn’t hit the sweet spot of wear.

A rare case of reverse weenie savings, where the lighter (more worn) option is also cheaper ;)
Actually I did a rough calculation, 0.5mm of aluminium brake track weighs in the ballpark of 50g*! Cheapskate weeniegains.
* Seems too much, I think I must have made a mistake. Either way it's probably several percent of the weight of the rim at least I reckon

But do you know where it is, or how to measure it?
