Probably they did this for a nicer photo.

You know, I was actually looking at the photo and thinking, where is the valve stem? I'd not considered it'd be inside the leg of the carbon spoke!

I'm tossing up whether to buy a Tri Spoke for my modern TT bike. I don't care if it's faster or not, they just look bloody awesome, haha! Thanks for the information. I love a good nerd-out over TT and aero gains.
