FIrst and foremost i'd like to apologise for my ignorance, i'm just getting interested in biking proper and so I still have a lot to learn. Currently in the prelim stages of a fixed gear project and need some advice.
I'm hoping to get a front aerospoke yet I have noticed they are all sold as 'non-machined rims'. However, since my bike is gonna be for road use and I have nowhere near enough confidence to ride w/o at least a front brake, I really want to be using a rim brake. Will this ruin the wheel? Since what i'm getting is coloured, will the brake strip through to show a carbon black or will it stil be the same colour through anyway?
sorry for my silly question and thanks againnn for your help
