You know, I remember reading it somewhere but I can't pinpoint exactly where. My LBS owner's also told me the same thing, and yet, after checking the Hed website, apparently the Hed Alps has a structural carbon rim, along with the Stinger line. However, I'm sure that the Jet line has nonstructural carbon rims.

Have you considered a Renn rear disk? People have mentioned to me that they are built a little bi better than the Hed disk.

I actually went with two Hed Trispokes.
most of my road racing is tri's so I thought this would be the best bet. Will try and add a rear disk in the future when flow permits

I think you can get a renn disc for less than $500 still...

The new ones are retailing for 2200 but you can get a set on sale now for 1750. I bet the 07's are easier to work with, the 06's were a b***h to put tires on, even the ones that were loose on all my aluminium clinchers.
