Are there any disadvantages whatsoever to spokeless wheels? By spokeless, I mean those made from cast aluminium or alu-magnesium alloy (or even carbon wheels). My impression would be that there isn't any.
Depends on the individual wheels. Some 3 spoke in the past, for example, have had roundness problems. I'd imagine that a cast metal wheel would have a serious weight penalty compared to a wire spoked wheel.
