Aye, this is what I’m really wondering about now.
Had never really gave it much thought beyond “oh fancy wheels look fancy”
Would be cool to actually ride them, but without paying for them.
I borrowed a Ghibli and a Lightweight in 2016 but I did have to ride a National Madison Champs (humblebrag) to do so! I was so worried about totalling £5k's worth of other people's wheels....
Some disc wheels (eg Campagnolo Ghibli) are made in the same way. Unreal to ride.
