Subject: [CR] Questions about CBL wood rims & Fischer BB shell


Hi,

has anyone had any good or bad experiences with the CBL wooden rims that have been selling on eBay? I have one question -- I've heard that wood rims require special brake pads, such as the SwissStop yellow that are used for carbon rims. What brake pads should be used with Nuovo Record calipers?

On another note, I'd like to purchase, if available, a classic 1960s/70s Georg Fischer bottom bracket shell for a current frame project.

Thanks!
