You'd likely sell a few to some folks that obsess over such things. You know, the same ones that battle on incessantly over what is the optimum chain lube?
But the SERIOUSLY OCD ones would simply bypass your product and go straight to the "replace rim with Presta size hole rim" rather than "compromise" with a screw on adapter. So you'd likely be stuck with around 955 of them in all the various colours of the rainbow left over.
Mind you if you could have them made from carbon fiber or titanium that may well be a whole other story....
