Look great on the Dahon. I wonder how good they will be laterally, particularly on bigger rims?

Hmmm. If the rim doesn't maintain a fixed position in relation to the hub, doesn't that imply having monstrous clearances under the fork crown and rear bridge? And presumably you can't have rim brakes.

Rear wheel looks very inefficient.

No you can't use rim brakes - the article confirms a bit lower down. Looks like they'd work better for mountain bikes?
