I can see how that could be a problem, maybe on the next batch of protos you could add an irg for extra rim weight. Also hiw thin are the walls? Is durability an issue? If it is a few more grams could be put into beefing up the thinnest parts so that there is, no risk of them breaking. ---

we’ve been really careful, so I have no idea how durable they are. they should be at least fairly strong. ---

Also, that screw on the hub might pose a problem, seeing as it has the phillipshead ending that might catch your finger while spinning. ---

I suggest that you should make nubs like clyw or spyy instead of like dv888 or burnside. It allows for a longer axle. More center weight, and looks a LOT better. ---
