Do you mean the FSJ-50 cyclocross rim?
I looked at that one (was offered discount to replace my melted carbon clinchers). But the profile looks the same as my current rims, just wider. So you get the nicer tyre profile, but not the torodial effect. I asked weather they had a similar profile to the new road clinchers, but wider, and was told they are the old shape, but wider.
You want the fattest part of the rim closer to the inside edge.
I have these (tubular version) in transit.
