Are you telling me you have never experienced a difference in the feel of a rim Alex D? And what do you mean about spokes contracting? As in reducing in length? And I guess you are calling BS on all the manufacturers who have been trying to engineer compliance into their rims? If we assume a similar wall thickness and construction, would you say that a rim that has a depth of 2" will feel identical to a rim with a depth of .75" assuming similar spokes and lacing pattern? Was the testing you speak of applied to mountain bike rims or road rims?
