What:
Brakes are repeatedly applied and released to test the brake track durability and heat resistance.
How:
A rim is placed in the test rig and with a load of 100kg. It is then rotated constantly at 12.5kph, while the brakes are engaged and disengaged at a set pressure every 3 seconds. Rims should endure 3000 cycles of braking with no sign of failure to meet industry standards.
Why:
This tests how well the rim can withstand the heat generated from braking on the carbon track.

I have a pair of Knight Composites 35 Clinchers with almost 20K miles on them and lots of riding here in Southern Colorado and I've never had an issue with the wheels. I delaminated a pair of 303's descending on my local ride in 2014. I think any wheel company can have a bad day and soon enough, that day will come to Alto as well.
