If it's not meant for a brake, the sidewalls may not be thick enough to sustain much wear - you may destroy the rim fairly quickly.
Hmm. I had a really close look at these wheels and they are old. The rear has NO brake marks at all. I can't make out the name, but I took a picture of it. That picture is from the rear wheel because the front is worn off. As you can see there is no wear at all on the side. I did buy the bike with no brakes and road it for a bit like that, but with our hills, it was just too much brain work to ride that way. I want to relax a little bit and focus on cars more than wondering how long is it going to take to stop.
Anyway, what kind of rims are these? I have a feeling they shouldn't be used with a brake?
