Wrong.

1. A properly built wheel doesn't go out of true.
2. A wheel that goes out of true was not properly built.

Two statements, logically consistent.

And backed up with engineering. There...

Nonsense.

There is no mechanism that would cause a properly built wheel to go out of true (outside of damage or abuse).

Yeah, wheel building takes patience and practice to get it right. I learned as a pre-teen from my dad. That was over 50 years ago (geez!).

About those wheels that sometimes go out of true: I suggest that it's almost always because they weren't built properly.

All the wheels I've built up, and the factory ones I have stress relieved and retensioned, has never needed truing.

Gonna call BS on that call.

If all wheels were built correctly in the first place, there would be no wheels going out of true.

Compatible parts for many years, eh?

It's already hard to find decent 10-speed Shimano components, and quality rim-brake wheel set selections are becoming thin.

As a lifetime member of the "thin and still slow" club, I feel this.

If it were't for power-to-weight ratio, I'd have no power at all.

It is not helpful.

For the rest of us, aero gloves are just gloves.

I do like a minimal glove, though. If an aero glove had a thumb wipe, and it was reasonably priced, I might give it a try.

If you're doing a time trial, maybe not a waste. They cost about as much as regular gloves, and they can reduce drag when in a time trial position. Especially if you have hairy hands.
