Hi Sah,
From some quick reading on wood rims for bicycles, it's a surprise to learn that wood rims have been around longer than alum and carbon if not steel. Even more surprising to note that wood rims are lighter and cheaper than alum and carbon besides being equally as strong and durable.
Saw the video on how wood rims are made by Cerchio Ghisollo, the world sole manufacturer of wood rims, crafted the product from beechwood only from Slovenia, to believe why wood rims are second to none.
For me, be it bamboo frame or wood rim, no thank bro, I will never want any of those things in my bicycle vocabulary!
...Some of bicycle related product that I really wanted to see closely if available here...maybe the only problem using wood rim is the breaking surface will become dull just like carbon wheel.. :(
