I'm looking at getting some new aero wheels like the Zipp 404, Hed Alps, or Spinergy Tilium. I've noticed that on some the spokes pass through the carbon and fasten directly to the metal rim - so you need to take off the tyre to adjust spoke tension. On others the spokes fasten to the carbon rim so the nipple protrudes and you can use a spoke key as normal.
I was wondering if there are there any strength/performance advantages to either method that you know of?
