Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

This might partly reflect it's success in the market, and among builders.

I've never had one fail except in a crash, including both my own, and those I've built for others. Generally, when rims crack at spoke holes, I chalk it up to too much spoke, ie 14g plain gauge, and/or excess tension.
