  • Never used, still has cellophane on it,

    Ideally looking for similar but machined, or offer me some cashish

  • just use cork pads ;)

  • with wings?

  • Don't worry if it's unmachined you can still run a brake with no ill effects. Machining rims is a new thing and largely to stop brake squeal on a new rim.

  • with wings?

    are these the ones you prefer?

  • Of course.

  • but Seb said they were shit in the wet and just didnt work with brakes..

  • You believe Seb?

  • You believe dogs?

  • I was quite drunk at the time..

  • Why what happened? ;)

  • use normal pads then

  • I use normal pads on my unmachined deep v's, they are fine, no squeel at all now :)

  • after being hit by a blue sticker cunt on sat on the way to Em's party, Seb then put the fear in me when I said I was going to put an unmachined rim on the front, as someone who cant skid for toffee I need my front brake to at least vaguely work in the wet.
    I dont care if they squeal as long as I can still stop!

    EDIT: Maybe I should HTFU

  • what hub you gonna build it too clefty?

  • have you watched seb ride next to cabs, he actually tries to get run over. sorta like hippy, but i think thats a gravity issue, like how the moon hugs the earth.

  • was going to lace it to my phil that i already have on the front that currently has a CXP33 on it

  • do it, do it, b a slave!

  • Ok I'll HTFU and get over it.
    but if I die in a horrific wet weather brake fail accident I'm sueing you all!

    Thanks boys.

  • Just sue dogs.

  • I ride an unmachined front rim and it's.... fun? It's decently dangerous since I tend to ride too fast, not pay attention have to slam on my brake and realize "oh crap..." when I don't y'know.. stop.

    plus any bit of moisture on the ground turns my bike into a brakeless fixie.

    cork pads are for carbon rims.

  • oh man, now i have the fear again..

  • cork pads are for carbon rims.
    which have a clear coat and are used to not damage the rim, but still work fine!

  • like most of these things, there's always two differing sets of experiences..

    I don't know, personally it wouldn't bother me, but if you rely on your brake I'd sell it and get a machined one. if you're going through the hass of re-building the wheel, might as well be safe and sure .

    esp in this weather

    unless someone can come along and tell you they've tried both and there's no difference

  • Brakes are good. Don't let any posers tell you otherwise.
    When it's pissing down, your emergency skid stop is going to take about a week..

    Whatever brakes you use, if you are slowing down with 'em, scuff the excess water off the rims with a light dab before fulling applying 'em.
