Just style, saw it on some bikes when I was putting the bars together a year or so ago, knowing the “source material” I’m sure their only purpose was “shifting more product per bike”
it’s quite nice in hand.
@amey think the only true way around this is to just ignore it, and get the rims built with box sections next time so I don’t care about Finnish being rubbed off when setting up the pads 🧠
@Yemble lightest wide tumble less one is velocity quill at 21 mm but £99 a rim!! Velo orange has a tubeless one that is a tad wider but weigh as much as the bike you’ll put them on and have no machined track, kinlin adhns is 520~g a rim, 20mm internal and £25 a rim, but not tubeless! Then there is the pancetti brevet??? 80-90£? Rim tubeless, lightish, crust has one which is similar but lol @ that - big tyre rim brake really on its death bed tbqh - especially with the desire for 29 50mm+

Ooh yeah, those Crust 23i rims are probably the best bet. I don't think they were out when I built this set on Pacenti Brevets. Can't justify that spend, but if I were doing it again I'd probably go those in 650b to leave a bit of room for fenders. Hoping to move somewhere that gets actual rain later this year.

Looks great with the drops IMO. What's the deal with the Ourys on the drops? Style points, extra comfort?
