    Just washed the crosser off earlier and noticed the wear indicator was now merely as deep as a penciled on one!
    So it's visible but that's about it. One more ride 😕

    Depends as clint would say " Are you feeling lucky punk"
    Seriously a few more rides but wear indicators are there for a reason.

    I'd order new wheels/rims, then swap them over when they arrive, no point pushing your luck as invariably it'll hurt!

    crosser prob not so bad, since the pressures are lower

    I blew one side right off a mtb wheel running slicks at about 80psi once !

    If the braking surfaces are starting to look curved, it's too thin.

    Also look for circumferential hairline cracks.
