• "The ONLY recommended brake blocks are Swisstop C.S.S. Blue V-brake blocks."

    Any of them using road brake pads?

  • Not really a wheelbuilding question but ...
    Thanks for reminding me about these @miro_o :

    There is an option for durable ceramic coated rims in these @Skülly

    I've not owned them but know a few people who have been super happy with them.>

    I only wish they had, like the legendary Open Pro Ceramics, made them beautiful. The black ano on the top of the rim is ugly as hell (I'm pretty much allergic to that shiny black ano that lots of modern bike parts are 'decorated' with). Why don't they ano the rest of the rim a similar grey to the CSS!? So annoying.

    But I'm intrigued your later response to ScillySuffolk quoting SJS telling us you can only use V Brakes on them ...

    Actually most of them are on cantis or mini vs but Koolstop make some inserts for road.

    So am I right in saying that some of those Kool Stops can be used on road calipers? Which ones? Sorry if seeming stupid! I always find brake blocks a bit of a minefield since BRAKSAREDEATH.
