I imagine they'd probably want their "ambassadors" to race on these things, but what if a race crash destroys a rim? Are these ambassadors liable for replacement? That wouldn't be worth the risk.
Edited to add: I'd be thrilled to go through this sort of thing because my current wheels are $200 Vueltas, and I can't reasonably afford anything better at the moment, so it'd be my first chance to try "nice" wheels. If someone already has a set of Zipps and DA C24s hanging in their garage, then yea, probably more annoyance than it's worth.
