So I run a front brake, and my ****ty rims are getting destroyed by it, as I knew would happen. I have looked all over for machined deep vs, and I can't find them anywhere. In fact a "machined" search on ebay under wheelsets returns 0 results.
Anyone know where I can find some? The color I'm looking for is celeste.

Edit:
Found some

Looks like they don't have celeste in stock, so if someone runs across them let me know...

also velocity is distributed by QBP so just go ask your lbs

Is it possible to sand the paint off a rim to make it machined yourself?

Search.

But yes, very quickly the paint will strip and you will have a machined braking surface (depending on weather conditions and how hard you brake). In my experience with a non-machined rim with a brake, I ran it brand new in the winter so the gunk + brake + hills had it damn near machined in a week.

I used search, all I found were threads talking about machined vs non machined, not where one can buy them, or if it's possible to convert them yourself. Now I know the only difference between a machined and non machined is that there isn't paint on the braking surface of the machined.
Anyway, thanks....
