A lot of mavic rims are either made out of soft cheese, or crumbly cheese- some of ’em bend too easily, others don’t bend but crack instead. But still, I’ve never had a rim so soft from any manufacturer that this happens.
Park levers are imo a bit shit. Too fat, which means they need more room and more force than other, better levers. People like them because they’re also strong and so you can apply a lot of force, same as Pedros. But it’s better to be like a Lezyne power lever, and not be strong enough to apply a lot of force, because you don’t need to because you have a better shaped hook. But again, even then, shouldn’t bend a wheel. That’s relaly the preserve of the stupid massive metal Pedros ones that nobody should still be using
