Seriously though, this design is novel, but it would be heavier and obviously requires more parts than a 'regular' rim.
It's a tough sell especially when my tubeless wheels are Stans 350g ZTR rims, sealed by 10g of 3M tape and accomplishes the same job.
In 2001 I did a prototype MTB disc wheel that weighed under 600g with a similar rim design to what Gipiemme now uses - double cavity, with paired spokes and the rim CNC machined down to a single cavity design where there wasn't any spokes.
That's another solution someone seriously has to take a look at.
*edit*
Actually, Looks like Gipiemme already has, although they're heavy as.

No not me! I'm a fake, can't even get close to doing a scottish accent.
I was talking of Paul. He'll log in once the jet lag subsides I guess!

Yup. should've read the top paragraph. It's saddle height from the BB. (I think)
Weird.
Nice dig at the Discos for not supplying info too. Any chance for some French Lance-bashing.

I guess that's an example of the Armstrong paranoia?
According to a recent Armstrong book I'm reading, they try to let nothing out.
I still can't find a reliable sorce on his crank length.

I'm more interested in whether he has a prosthetic nut or not, and whether it has a Nike swoosh on it.Havagoodweekend fellas!

Yes, that's the Aussie legal drama. I also have the driving instruction video, the wildlife doco, and there's also the Aussie version of "Footloose", filmed in Newcastle. Can anyone name these films?
