@Rodolfo
so i've decided to go for wide-rimmage and ordered a23 in black.. one nmsw and one msw since i use a front brake.
after i ordered i went googling and apparently nmsw is more durable because, not that surprising really, material is shaved off to create the machined sidewall.
now the order has been postponed because they hadnt stock of the nmsw which gives me some time to rethink.
options:
a) stop bedwetting; msw will give better brake performance and look betterer in the longterm
b) msw is well old-dads choice. get nmws, use softer pads and enjoy longer rim life and same rim colour. i can use the tenner spared to buy me the pads.
answers on a postcar please. and if you concur with b) and have some experience with it, please give me a headsup which pads then to get.
many thanks my fellow brethren in first world bike component choice stress
