Are there any machined rims where the machined bit is the same colour as the rim (and will stay the same colour)?

They last better than standard anodising but unfortunatly still get marked by the brakes.

no anodising is going to stand up to wear of rubber break pads so you will always have a rubber brake line no matter what rims you buy :)

My Mavic CXP-33s are holding up pretty well, but only done about 1000 miles on them and need the occasional wipe clean. I'm very fond of them, though.

Just get unmahcined rims, the machining is only to stop brake squeel on new rims.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
