Hi, Any advice greatly appreciated!
I have a set of carbon pista wheels on my track
bike. I now no longer live anywhere near a
velodrome (Germany) and I would like to re–lace them to a
geared rear hub to finish a carbon de rosa build..
Are the wheels strong enough to
cope with braking forces and will general carbon
pads work on a non machined braking surface?
Is it a stupid idea in general?
Thanks!
