I've had good non-machined and I've had bad non-machined, I've only had good
machined, and so I took a few hours of my life and machined my non machined
with some sand paper and elbow grease. I broke my collarbone last November and
I've come to blame the non machined brake tracks I was wearing
I've used both, and I can't tell the difference in braking effectiveness,
though perhaps machined tracks means slightly smoother braking, since you
don't have those protruding rim joints -- "thump-thump-thump" -- that
appear, say, on some of my Sun rims. But I'd trade smoothness for a bit
more rim
I also had a question regarding machined vs non-machined braking surfaces. Do
people ride both on the list? Do they stop/ feel the same? Any pros/ cons of
one vs. the other? I’ve only ridden machined so I don’t know any different.
They stop great, crisp. Non- machined seems to be a
