They're one of a handful of rim companies that still do double-eyelets. Once you pull spokes through the outer wall of a double walled, single-eyeleted rim on a tour, you'll never go back to single-eyelets. My concern is that this process might not survive the receivership. Bean counters don't see the value in a process that increases rim life and durability.
