That's around 3 rims for me, just from the wear and tear abuse of riding year 'round with sand and cinders on the wet roads for 9 months of the year.
The wet weather makes a big difference IMO. We did a 20 mile descent (5000 ft) int the pouring rain ona forum ride. I had new brakes at the start of the ride. About .200 of pad left at the bottom of the hill.

We are lucky and don't deal with the wet roads.

But yup, 20,000 on the V's.
