I was just wondering...
If they can build tubeless (read UST) spoke wheels for mountain bikes, why can't the same be made for real bikes? Yes yes, I know the 1200GS and ST has them, but both have some finicky way of attaching the spokes to the rim.  I'm talking plain rims for smaller capacity bikes here. Make them double wall rims and seal off the spokes, how difficult can it be?
