New Pacenti SL23 - 408-417g

Do you think the narrow rim brake track is maybe one of those "whoopsies" that happened in the design or manufacturing stage? I don't know, but I'm looking for some good alloy rims at the moment and was going to check these out. But that's definitely a negative. A big part of what I think makes a good component is how nice it plays with the components it interacts with.

They aren't the first. Kinlin XR270 and Hed C2 rims have a similarly narrow track. I've heard Velocity A23s are right there also, but the older ones I have are a bit wider.
I think it is an undesirable feature, but it isn't unprecedented. And particularly for rim that is trying to pare down weight to the minimum, it makes some sense.
