Very much so. If it behaves and performs as billed it should take over the world.
For the moment I'll stay with aluminium but they're definitely interesting.

Will people pay the premium for a little more environmentally friendly products, I doubt it.
Hope you are wrong. I would and do.Think solar panels , electric cars not everyone is making a net profit.
People dont just buy the cheapest stuff that works or else we would all be riding Giants and Polygons.
If the concept is marketed correctly and not just greenwashing.

Agreed. CF is offensive and unnecessary, especially in recreational use. Also agree that if I was ever considering a $3k wheelset (highly unlikely) I'd buy the nylon because it's recyclable. But aluminium for me 4LIFE I reckon.

I guess this is my point, the people lashing out on carbon wheels probably won't want no-name nylon wheels.

You would have thought that they would have had a shot at the MTB market. I know some people hate composite wheels for a few reasons but worry about spoke tensions isn't one of them. I guess the dive of the BMX market hit them hard too.
Skyway also make wheelchair wheels now. I would shell out on MTB disc compatible tuff wheel in the classic black with gold hub flanges even if it ended up having 7 spokes or so.
Frank's still going. I just wouldn't know what to have him make anymore. A decent single pviot would be nice, or a knock off enduro version of a 2012 lapi dh920.

One would need the MICA paramedics following, along with the SES on every trail. It would certainly make switchbacks interesting.
