I find it interesting that the "Ai" ended up using the maximum width available to it.

Smith’s AI optimization routine was first programmed to find the lowest drag cross section possible that would work with a 25mm tire. They constrained the depth to a maximum of 77mm and let it fly. The initial result was a rim that measured 42mm at its widest point, so they added a width constraint of 30mm so it would fit in traditional bicycle frames and forks.I find it interesting that the "Ai" ended up using the maximum width available to it.

- Maximum width: 30mm
- Depth: 77mm
- Weight: 625mm per rim
- Clincher wheelset: Venn Var 77 TCC weight: 1894g
