I’d say I am a pretty sketchy rider, and do a lot of 180s and spin tricks, so I always tend to land back wheel first. It took some rough falls at times, but still was able to hold up fine. After over a year, I had only had one barely noticeable ding in the top of the rim, but it did not affect anything really. The chrome was decent too. A little wore off in spots, but other than that, my brakes always worked fine. I really liked this rim, and would recommended it to anyone who isn’t a too much of a weight freak, like I have become. I ended up selling this Rim (with the Odyssey old style cassette) to someone, and he said he likes it very much.
