This is what I'm finding with Matrix ISO tubular rims. On the other hand, I can't figure out what kind of brake they are really designed for. The sloped rim side is aero and graceful, but it doesn't hit any brake shoe square. Decent braking is possible, but it wears brake shoes at their upper edge.
