Expensive, heavy and carbon. The trifecta of items I typically avoid in my wheelsets, pass.
Of course I am totally dismissing the technology here, but couldn't the same thing be done in aluminum? For less money? And maybe even less or similar weight? As they say, the tech comes from the moto world where they do it with aluminum. Are aluminum versions on the way?
Also that picture showing one edge of the rim being pinched while the side of the tire happy remains almost fully expanded kinda rubs me the wrong way...
