I guess some of the most popular durable racing wheels like Mavic Ksyrium just don't work. Go figure.
Ksyriums have
stainless spokes. (Edit: or "zircal", whatever that is.)
P.S.
From 2007
Absalon has been running Fulcrum's Red Metal Zero disc wheels all season long. The new offering is a close analogue to the company's road-going Racing Zero wheelset, with alloy spokes
"Olympic and World Mountain Bike champion Julien Absalon that is"
I heard Absalon still
rides a 26".
FWIW, I didn't say they didn't work. I said I don't understand
why they do. Very different.
