I built up a set of wheels for one of my OT bikes perhaps eight years ago using MA2s in the unusual 26" size, and while the back eventually got "potato chipped", the front is still going strong after, probably thousands of miles of hard use on and off road. A really good, light, inexpensive non anodised rim. Pity they are no longer being made.
