Have had this idea to eliminate numerous steps from the manufacturing process and maintain ride quality, not gain weight and make a more affordable rim and wheel with the savings. It is very tough, I tried 3 different styles of preforming on the 40mm rim today and the tack of the material makes it quite difficult to elimnnate all steps in one fell swoop. Although parts did not look good prior to going into the press, they looked fairly decent coming out.
