Guys, new school 1.5 rims will be 'double walled', with two 'layers' of rim so much stronger than the old 1.5 Araya or ukais.  However even the olf ones should hold up OK but the strength of a wheel is mostly in the build so get them built proper with good quality spokes and you'll be fine.

When I was racing I used 28hole 1.5's at one time, no probs but like I said, get them built right!
