Personally, I've never experienced (or noticed) the faster rear rim & brake shoe wear rate others report, but there's enough smoke out there, that there might be a fire.
But I'm not sure I buy the theory that the rear gets more weather or is exposed to more grit and debris by virtue of it's position. Isn't just as likely that the rear gets throw-off of oils from the drive train, which makes the rim stickier than the front?
