• I'm not an expert but I believe that almost all carbon rims are designed like that..

  • I don't think they are. Take a look at these Mavics for example:

    Don't most semi-decent deep dish rims have the nipples on the edge, whereas those Cosmics I posted earlier are just a low end carbon rim?

    Someone please help us D:

    Good of you to admit it

    I believe that almost all carbon rims are designed like that..

    Even better of you to prove it incontrovertibly.

    The common rims which are an aluminium structural rim plus a carbon fairing are Mavic Cosmic Carbone clinchers, Hed Jets and Flo60/90. There are probably others, but stuff like Shimano, Zipp, Campag/Fulcrum, Reynolds and pretty much everything else has the spokes anchored in the carbon at the inner diameter of the rim, just like regular metal rims.
