Interesting video over at Spoke - Specialized have come up with a beadless MTB rim.

Whattya reckon then? Is beadless the way of the future? Will it be available in the new 28'er standard only? 😉 Who knows!
They announced these a while back, certainly seems interesting, makes carbon rims significantly more affordable.
Er, well that video showed us nothing really.
What's a 'blow-off machine' supposed to prove? I doubt it puts the rim & tyre under the same stresses and in the same ways that a rider would going into turns and such.
agree with stevelol - what they need is a burpomatic / rolloffomatic
(mind, spesh is a massive bike co and I'd be surprised if they did this half-arsed)
