Re: [RBW] NMSW

Hey Josh, I recently built up some Velocity Cliffhangers with nmsw. I also have a set that do have machined sidewalls. I've run them both- mostly in dry conditions, but some wet- and I can't really tell any difference in stopping time or power. I have a pair of Avid arch supremes doing the rim

Re: [RBW] NMSW

I had this concern before getting some non-machined Atlases a few years back. Turned out to not matter at all for performance from my perspective, and once your pads pick up some dust/grit they will rough up the rim surface a bit anyway. On Friday, August 18, 2023 at 3:49:02 PM UTC-7 Josh C

Thanks! He didn't exactly say not to go with the cliffhangers just said "hey those rims are NMSW, are you ok with that?" which gave me pause. So I thought about it and all of my rim brake wheels have had machined side walls. Maybe a BMX bike or two when I was young were NMSW but I can't

That is very odd. Aren't machined brake tracks relative recent (I mean, starting from the 1990s, or perhaps 1980s? People managed to stop just fine before that. And I've been using a stash of Sun M14As and ME14As for almost 30 years and those don't have machined braking tracks; salmon pads stop

Looking for your take on non-machined side wall wheels with rim brakes. Poor stopping power? I don't have experience with NMSW and rim brakes but just reached out to a wheel builder about building a set of polished cliffhanger wheels and they cautioned me regarding the NMSW. Figured I'd see

Ted (and All)- I don't think I've ever gotten more than 1500 miles out of a set of Extralights. By the that time the rear tire is usually slick and both tires have several tread slashes in them. I've had a lot of luck with the Barlow Passes (running tubeless) in standard casing however.

Thanks, I'll see how the Terra Speeds compare. I agree about price, it's just too much for something expendable. I'm not looking for mud tires at all, just thought I'd throw my overall take on the Herse tires. I'm skeptical that the Terra Speed.onobs do much of anything, but we'll see. On

I've been running the Terraspeed 40mm (measuring 38mm on my A23 rims). I have no stomach for the prices Rene Herse charges for their tires, but I don't think the Terra Speed are going to satisfy you if you're riding in mud. My experience with the Terraspeed is that in mud, you're going to spin

My tires are around 40-41mm on Dyads (19mm, I think). Great feel, fast, horrible in mud, great in everything else, maybe a little too fragile for what they enable me to ride. I'm going to try the Terra Speed see how it goes. The price on those is very good at the moment, and I'd feel OK with
