I have some DT Swiss RR415 rims.

They have a rim wear indicator but I don't know what I am looking for.

Can anyone advise what I should look for when trying to spot the wear indicators, please?

    According to the DT Swiss webby there are dimples in the rim, when they disappear your time is up!

    this isn't the same model rim, but it'll do...

    ...see the black dots on the braking surface? they are the indicators, as above, little dimples machined into the rim

    when the surface wears away they will no longer be visible and it'll be new rim time

    Thanks for the responses. I guessed that the little spots may be the clue but couldn't find specific details on their website.
