Hey, a question for those who recommended VO rims:
Does the braking surface take a while to wear in? Will I be squealing at every inner-city intersection for months?
I'm wondering is perhaps a milled braking surface (eg Mavic OpenPro, Mavic MA3/OpenSport) might be a better start.
Thanks again - the first attempt at wheel-building is coming along, and I've just discovered the magic of a spoke-calculator :-)
