Not needed but if I was going brifter and choosing between the two rims, I’d go with the wider TB14 and use the MA2 on a different build. Folks are going wider and wider on tires and a brifter set up will likely end up on a frame with more clearance and fat tires. (400+ gram vintage rims are plenty strong but these days I try not to abuse my GL330s.)
