I’ve never had any trouble stopping on these. There’s a little click where the tiny rim join passes the pads when you’re scrubbing speed.
Yeah I guess sold as track rims, since CXP30 is the same rim but machined. In the old days, just before this era of Mavics, all rims were unmachined, and some retrogrouches even say unmachined rims are better cos you wear your own brake track out minimally, whereas the machining takes too much off. I’ve got a pair of CXP10 a superlight V-section road rim from a little earlier (early 90s ish?) is unmachined.
They’re only some wheels. They’re nice. I don’t care if I keep em or not. You’re welcome to em for some money. Don’t really expect a lot. No skewers with em as I’m always low on skewers.
