No doubt the discs do add more stress. Some brake manufacturers specify how they want the wheel laced.
I have no babied these wheels, and I likely run too much tension but prefer no flex on the back.
I'll cut a cross section and see, maybe the spoke holes were counterbored too deep, then again, maybe not.
Any info about the aero benefits based on rim height? The Zipps get pretty tall in the name of speed, just curious how it all relates.
