You're welcome to them if you wish.
Cheers for the offer but to be honest I kind of haven't tried them because I have never actually cooked a brake yet on a normal rotor.

8 colours. Innovation for sure
You can't put it on downhill bikes but what if you're Sam Hill on an Enduro bike (ie. a lesser mortal on a DH bike)?
I think the question is more will this be an innovation that goes mainstream? At $700 USD per rim I'm not so sure, but it definitely looks interesting on paper.
Yeah you have to wonder whether it really will reduce harshness and help prevent flats like they claim - I can’t see rims deforming that much to make a huge difference given the size and amount of deformation of a typical tyre. Happy to be proven wrong though. I guess companies need to keep throwing new ideas out there - one or two might stick and make them a good return.
Bouw meester was making that design with carbon in 2014So somewhat on topic - is this innovation or just marketing?

The new thing is 27.5 rear and 29er front. Existing wheels and frames wont work because the forces on them are completely different resulting in explosions and death.I'd tend to agree. I think getting prices down is the only bit of innovating left. I think in terms of my shed, I only really have ice tech rotors to give a shot and most is pretty up to date despite my mtbs going as far back as 2012.
Actually, I think we are due for another wheel size.
Apparently some brands are trialling the 29er front and 27 rear on DH bikes, something about buzzing their bum cheeks on the rear 29er too often.The new thing is 27.5 rear and 29er front.

36" is the new wagon wheel, 32" is so yesterday .[
this makes no sense
shouldn't they be trying 32"?

I think a lot of product success can be contributed on how well a product was marketed but it will be interesting to see how well they take off.So it seems... so why has Zipp now come along with the same concept when it didn't seem to have taken the industry by storm 5 years ago? Is it just one of those niche things for the elite riders, or is SRAM worried about Bouwmeester’s collaboration with Crank Bros, or trying to get some more mileage from Shockwiz by banging it on wheels now too? Another case of a solution to a problem that never really existed to begin with?
Saw that Druid too, so high pivots are back to the future now?
Yep, He does it and wins. I reckon if I did it I would void my warrantyIsn't Martin Maes' GT running 29 front 27.5 rear?
I'm not a big fan of electrics on MTBs either.I’m sceptical like you @Cardy George, just because we have ebikes and smartphones, it doesn’t mean we really need to have electronic tech all over the bike and a smartphone app to rule it all.
