@gcvsa@mstdn.plus what about 750d wheels? 🤡
That was shown at last year's CyclingWorld fair in Düsseldorf, Germany and even received an award. 🤦

@x_tof@verkehrswende.social What about them? Again, if the primary incentive for them is "to go faster in a race", I don't care about that. I think, from a mechanical perspective, a wheelset needs to balance comfort and durability, and for a transportation cyclist, speed isn't a major concern, not really even a minor concern. A larger wheel rolls over road imperfections more easily, and has greater rotational inertia, but is harder to build with sufficient strength for a given target weight.
