Maybe I have misunderstood something, or someone is sprouting garbage.
Just been reading up on Mavic wheels made of Maxtal alloy with the seam being Arc welded??.
"The reference rim for high performance wheel building.
The Open Pro is the latest version of the Mavic Open rims, and as such is the most advanced evolution. Optimised up to the limit of the material potential, Open Pro is one of the best road rims available. The SUP rim has a stronger arc welded joint which is then milled to form an invisible join, eliminating juddering when braking. Maxtal alloy is 30% stronger than 6061 without any extra weight. The Mavic Open Pro has an anodised finish to reduce wear and corrosion. UB Control gives the rims a higher coefficient braking surface and a smooth joint due to the digital milling process after anodization. It is drilled for Presta valve tubes
