I've heard of other rims outlasting their hubs. Almost every other cheap aluminum rim. Were carbon rims disposable until now?
Apparently, the author is clueless of the environmental cost of making anything out of carbon (read Carbon Ideologies for a starter course).

Are there machines to assemble spokes in wheels? I thought all wheels were "handbuilt" (which is really just a fancy way to say "some assembly required", I mean, you don't "build" anything, you just assemble it).
