I got sick of replacing rims, so I decided to go the CSS path and bought a pair of Rigida Grizzly CSS. I have put about 2000k on the rims, and everything is as expected except for a shudder from the front when braking. I'm pretty sure the shudder is from the join in the rim. I can see a different "shine" on the brake surface for about 10mm either side of the join, and at slow speed I can tell the shudder is once per wheel revolution. The shudder has been there since new. I had hopped it would go away with a little usage, but nothing has changed.
Anyone had this and know of the solution, or know that it will go away with more usage?
