So, on the excellent advice of @andrew_s I purchased an iwanson gauge to check out my rear rim wear.
It had been grabbing a bit breaking, which I *assumed* was because it's a bit out of true too, so I was intending to take to LBS for a retrue.
So, having taken it off, I have a look and fucj me, it's absolutely bolloxed, completely worn away to the hollow section inside around 2/3 of the rim!
The gauge, however, shows minimum 1mm thickness, so I'm not sure how useful it really is.
How the thing continued to work at all is a bloody miracle.
Anyone ever seen a rim in worse condition still rideable?
