rim machining
Ive been looking for celeste aerospokes and all that i can find are non machined. Is there some way i could machine them myself or have a bike shop do it for me? Would putting some sandpaper on the break pad and riding it around for a little work or just kill it? Would using breaks on a non machined aerospoke be advisable?

Better skip the lighter fluid, then.
Do you want some breaks with your steaks?

How many times is this going to come up? It IS okay to use breaks on non-machined rims if those rims are anodized. If they are powdercoated (like any celeste rim) it will just smear everything up and look disgusting. I JUST bought a pair of celeste Deep Vs like a week ago and got them machined b/c I knew I would want a breaking surface and running breaks on those powdercoated rims would just be a mess.
You CAN get celeste aerospokes w/ machined sidewalls. Just call the people that have the non-machined ones and ask them to do it for you. It's that simple.
People always make the comment: Rim machining is a recent fashion bla bla bla. This is true. Painted rims are also a recent fashion. If you want to use painted/powdercoated rims: GET A MACHINED BREAKING SURFACE. if you are getting a rim that is anodized or not colored at all, you're probably okay without getting it machined.

The only place that can machine something, is a FARKING machine shop damn it!
And also, why do you want an aerospoke? I like how it's come down to "oh ****, where should I put my aerospoke? front or rear?!" like you HAVE to get an aerospoke, and can only get one.

go to ebay. I saw some on there from Bell's bike shop. Also, why do you guys care about "break." I am an English Rhetoric (creative writing) major and I don't even notice when it happens. As much as I try to avoid it, sometimes when I am typing quickly my brain just jumps to the most commonly spelled version of the word: break. Maybe once I'm on BF for longer, brake will become the default 
Until then, it's really not that big of a deal. And yes, I make good grades.
Edit: As much as I wish this misspelling was intentional, I am not that clever. And honestly, the last thing I want to do is to piss off more BF members...
