I saw this info about the topic on the Riv website page for a complete Appaloosa:
Another caveat: We always prefer non-machined sidewalls because they last longer, but when paired with salmon pads, they squeal until the rims are more broken in. We're including a set of non salmon pads with this bike, so you can swap them out if it's too noisy. A couple rides in the rain or lots of dusty rides should do the trick as well. See the pads in the pictures.
