Hubless wheels = quite a good idea from a handling perspective but no-one has come up with a system for doing it that works all that well (ie light and cheap).

Just imagine how much more leverage the steering has.

Spoiled all the nice effect by increasing the unsprung weight through the unecessary use of a hundred odd pointy bolts to hold the rims together with. Those things were cool in the 70's... Rolling Eyes

I'd be amazed if balancing is required. Smile It'd have to be a pretty odd wheel to counter the eccentric mass of the bike.
