And I do. I like the aerodynamics of the rim, just not the price tag that is associated with the hub/rim combo(the wheelset). So I figured I could get the tyroidal design, with a lesser hub.

If you look at Campagnolo's Super Record cranks or Sram Red cranks, their carbon fiber isn't weaved. So how is it formed then? Any information on this would be appreciated!...
