Based on reports from the field that tires with cotton, silk, or other
natural fiber sidewalls with open tubular style of construction were
degrading quicker than expected, we launched a study to understand the
validity and prevalence of these claims. As a result of this
investigation, we confirmed that tires using natural sidewall materials
with an open tubular type construction, are not fit for use with ENVE
carbon rims. ...

Is there some specific feature of those rims that cause the problem? For
example, is the rim somehow sharper at the interface with the tire?
