I agree with Peter, but one caveat – depending on the surface of the wheels non-machined surfaces can be very squeaky with standard brake pads. This is especially true if you have powder coated rims. I had a pair of wheels machined once, and the machinist only charged me $50, but it was really hard to find a shop with the capacity to turn the wheels. I also sanded a pair of powdercoated track rims and it solved the squeak problem, but looked ugly. My suggestion: try it carefully then adapt if the braking is inadequate or the squeaking annoying.

Best,

Brake as you please if you can get the brake to hit the rim. It was only late in the nineties rim-producers started to mill braking-surfaces on rims, so untill then we didnt care. Braking will wear the nice surface though. Back inm those days (70′s and 80′s) the brakes were not that powerfull either…

I would guess those rims are for tubular tires as well, so remember to glue them.

PS. I have not ridden that exact rim, but I rode mavic gp4 rims which had a similar construction
