Bianchi10, the entertainment value of this thread is adequate, however here are some thoughts. Aluminum rims are pretty disposable. I get about 20000km out of them, and then I will either lace up a new rim, or replace the wheel. My aluminum rims see the rain and snow. I keep the carbon rimmed wheels for fair weather only. If I take care of the hubs, replace spokes as required, they will last far longer than my aluminum wheelsets.
