As you know - it's not the rims - it's the tires.

Tech like this is fun when you have enthusiasts that will take the time and figure out what to do. It sucks when you get someone that isn't going to do that but does something because their buddy "who knows this stuff" does it and then eats sh*& because they didn't understand it. THAT's the guys I see.

It's the same problems we will be runnning into in 20 years with all the disc brake bikes that have been hanging in the rafters since they were bought are pulled down by the teen kid who then tries to ride dad's old bike without any service being done on them and finds the brakes now fail.
