Rims
I got these rims in a parts lot, can they be used with rim brakes? What were they used for? what is the value? Are they tubeless only? Not sure if I want to build a fixie or sell them.
I think they are 700c.

Theses rims were used for racing in the 80's both track and road with rim brakes but they have pretty narrow brake surface line. They do as said take old style tubular sew up tires as such there not good for or worth much. Also the single speed mod on the rear wheel looks to be a bit of a hack job.
