Switchback hills on Synergy rims seated just fine for me (much better than
hetres). They measure about 42mm stretched for about a month or two. I can
take a digital caliper measurement at whichever pressure you'd like.

The attraction of the GB rims is that they auto seat compass tires. No
massaging necessary. I could get the machined A23 set But then I would have to
pay for a whole new wheelset 500 bucks. Maybe I'll just switch from the
yokozuna pads to cool stops and Swiss stops and see what happens with
Eric is right. Use your Synergies, make the best of it, and enjoy
yourself. Machined sidewall rims are a little better in the rain, in my
experience. That said, rim brakes always perform worse in the rain. If
you go a long time between uses, and grab the brakes when you need to stop,

I had a set of 650b A23s set up with Riv Silver Brakes. They were nice, but
honestly not significantly better than my (non-machined) C-18s in terms of
braking. Unless you think the braking performance is bordering on
dangerous, I would just go with the Synergys you already have and see if

Bump. Anymore feedback? Trying to decide between my spare Synergy set or GB
set. Neither were great in rain. Wonder if A23 better (machined). 650b. Long
reach sidepulls.

I've never had good luck with braking power on mirror-finished rims. At
least, the VO ones were terrible for it. I think it's something in the
anodization that hardens them, they never seem to get their surface to
groove and seat properly. Low stopping power and lots of noise with 4
different
I have noticed very low braking power on my non-machined Grand Bois rims. Even
with yokozuna salmon pads.
I am hopefully going to try kool stops. If that doesn't help, blue swiss stops.

I've noticed a fairly significant decrease in braking power on my non-machined
rims (VO, CR-18) in the rain vs my bikes with machined rims.

The only difference I have noticed is when setting up new rakes and new rims, I
had slightly less brake squeal (until the pads bedded in) with machined rims.
My hypothesis was that the machined sidewalls worked the way a slightly scuffed
rim worked.
The difference was marginal and would not
Rims are rims. The inherent quality of the rim is more important than
machined or not. If you think non machined may last you longer, stronger,
bigger better etc. etc. , think again. If you think machining gains/saves
you anything either , think again ! Or simply don't think at all, really,
I have machined Synergy and Open Pro rims, and non-machined Campy Moskva
(and some non machined tubies). Other than taking a little more attention
to align the pads on the non-machined rims, no notable difference in
performance.
