The flanges on the spoke nipples that rest on the rim surface are extremely narrow, so they tend to pull out of the rim catastrophically. The RS20 shares the same design.

Take a gander at other wheels and you'll realise that most wheels are designed to be a lot stronger at the nipple-rim interface.
