Can it be done, if so is it an LBS job?
Any help appreciated,

braking is not that bad. in the wet is a bit scary, cheaper to get wet/carbon type brake blocks than get machined rims.

Buy machined rims, sell unmachined rims.

Unmachined are hugely desirable to brakeless fashionistas.

Youll be able to sell your ancient battered worn out rims for enough to buy a new set of machined ones.

And besides, machined rims are not the same as non-machined, the rims walls are built different and they are hard-anodised.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
