Thanks. Will prob expect them to say the same too. Im sure those will be the best bet. One last thing while I have your attention, any major cons about using a road chainring instead of track specific for training, racing etc.I assume they are thinner and not as stiff but im light so shouldn't be a problem, right? Would be chainrings without the pins btw.
Just want to make sure before I start making some home made Sugino chcd type chainrings for the cranks.

Corima used solid cork for their early wheels, I think their current pads are still cork based but made from plastic bonded particulate rather than being cut from whole bark. Since they only make one pad, my guess is they will recommend their current pad for their historic wheels. You can buy them here
Cork pads have been superseded in performance by synthetic pads, but that's in conjunction with modern resins and special friction layers in the rim lay up. For older wheels, cork has the reputation of being kinder to the carbon.
