Doing some background reading via google, there appears to be a slight concensus that ceramic rims
can be trouble.
My LBS had recommended (and I accepted) Mavic x618 rims coupled to 36 XT and Schmidt hubs. The x618
comes sporting a sticker "inspect regularly". The newgroups mention the ceramic cracking.
What's the real story? Baring in mind I'm not wearing a cap back to front and bunny hopping off
garage roofs. They are 26' wheels fitted to my touring bike.
If there is a problem, can it be alleviated by using different brake pads? What is one supposed to
look for and where on the wheel?
thanks,
