Soma Fabrications (USA) – Press Releaase: For you still commuting on bikes with rim brakes, we introduce the El Nino Super Hard Anodized rain rims. With the coating and the thicker non-machined sidewalls, these will outlast almost anything on wet, dirty streets.

Wet grit and road salts that get splashed on your rims and get caught in your brake pads can wear out your sidewalls in a season if you are a daily rider. These El Nino’s skip machining on the sidewalls to maintain the thickness of your braking surface. Plus they use Hard Anodizing to make the rim's surface extra durable.
