In my world, rims are not worn out until they actually crack in half.

I like to get full value from my stuff. Please be aware I also have decent medical cover... :D

Got a slice of rim in my calf in about 2002 from a rear rim explosion, was one of most painful things ever, especially as I couldn't get off the bike as it was inside my leg.

Rim brakes are death. Went to disc for MTB after that and will never return to rims, not in the UK, too wet and gritty.

I would like to say the same thing but I have too much rim brake stuff that isn't worth selling on and still works. I will continue to wear rims down to the DeathZone™ though. It's all I can do to feel alive...
