I know this thread has gone cold but out of curiosity does anyone know if Archetypes use a internal wear inductor. There seems to be a small dot appeared on my rim.

One year 3 months worth of use, including 2 trips to the big mountains.

This http://forums.roadbikereview.com/wheels-tires/h-son-archetype-need-facts-324730.html would suggest, as was my expectation, that you needn't worry about seeing the wear indicator but rather, not seeing it.

Some do it with a groove, some with a dot but in either case, it's once the rim becomes worn to the point where the indicator cannot be seen that it needs replacing.

This is useful. I have been advised that the rims on my wheelset are are shot and so I need to replace them asap. The wear indicator is still visible albeit not for much longer.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
