" Asymmetrical rims create more equal spoke tension, which results in a stronger wheel and the use of externally reinforced spoke holes helps ensure accurate drilling."
Say what? Accuracy of drilling a hole would be due to their equipment and jigs, not due to extra material around where you plan to drill. Just saying.
"SCB developed a layup that includes what they say is one of the thicker rim beads on the market; each bead is up to one-millimetre thicker. "
Why not measure it? And compare it to every other rim you can get your hands on? Didn't the Crankbrothers wheels just claim to be the widest bead on the market? Would be nice to see reviews actually do some digging into the claims thrown around.
