What it has got, that I've never noticed before, is an unusual way of mounting the spokes - the nipples are fitted to the side flange bit of the rim, rather than in the centre of the rim, so the wheels can take tubeless tyres.

Nice one Mart. I prefer the new one to the Yellow beast. Lots of polishing ahead of you.
