I know Im beating a dead horse but I like me some fresh input. Ive been a Chrome Odyssey Hazard guy for almost 11 years now but I am really debating getting the Black Hazards or 7-KA's. I'll be using FRONT and REAR brakes with clear pads, mostly park riding. I just want to now how well the Black Odyssey rims will stand up to a brake pad beating. Ive also heard there has been some problems lately with Chrome flaking. Ive only had on Odyssey rim do this to me in 11 years, so I wonder how common this problem is. Also, black will go good with the color scheme I want. Ive heard some say the the black wears off in a couple weeks, a couple months, some say they have had theres for a couple of years with no sign of wear. So, please people that have had experience with Black Odyssey Rims, Help me out.
