Thanks for the fit calculator ... it'll be useful for future builds.

One last option that is listed on the IRO website is "All Black Wheels with Orange Hubs and machined brake surface." Now what I've read from this thread: http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in.../t-615193.html ... unmachined is all about looks for those who don't use brakes while machined is for better braking (more friction when it's new/out of the box).

I will run a front and rear brakes (both when I try FG and SS I think).

1) Assuming I don't care about how my rims look it should be fine to go with unmachined and endure the break in period and less-than-stellar looks right?
2) If I do eventually care about how my rims look (and still run front and rear brakes) ... I would get machined?
3) When I change to FG can I / should I switch to front brake only (as opposed to both front and rear brakes) with the brake system IRO gives me?
