If higher incidences of sidewall punctures are a real problem with these wheels, I don’t understand how that couldn’t have been discovered during testing. Many riders had these at Unbound before they were released. I’d bet that Zipp got a ton of rider feedback.
But to have at least 3 reviewers report sidewall punctures is bad news.
On a different note, why do people want hooks when running LOW tire pressure? I thought the hooks/hookless debate was mostly for higher pressure uses.
