The warranty Aerohead that Velocity sent me last year, is on its way out. Both brake surfaces are splaying outwards at the bead seat.
The wheel is still true, but braking is terrible now, grabbing every revolution as the rim width changes.
Morgan has offered to loan/sell me his Mavic Open Pro, radially laced to the same Dimension front hub that I have.
But whats this, the brake surface has never seen wear.
Are you sure you want this Morgan?

Don't be a mander, kids. Yes, I think it is time for that rim to see brake pads; it's got no fork to sit in anyway.
I rode it in the rain today. These Koolstops are seating nicely.
I even triflow'd the cable a bit. smooth radial action. stiff build.
Solid. Imagine, Lyle is riding a wheel that I built!
I've retentioned and trued it to within +-0.5mm.. so its more like one of 'mine' now.
Hey, it was only out because I crashed the bike. I saw the Spic with the wheel, and it looks good in my opinion. Lyle, meanwhile, is complaining like a trackie that just switched to steel bars.
