I guess we could do a poll. How many here have had a road bike rim fail
by having the brakes eat through it?

I believe I had this once in the early 1990's but maybe it was 'just' a
tyre blow-out while going down a steel hill in Edinburgh.

My wife had an rim fail on a rented MTB also in Scotland in 2001 but
that doesn't count.
