Nowadays it just seems like a good way to add weight exactly where you don't want it.
I "get" spoked wheels on proper offroad bikes cos they have a bit of give and are very forgiving and maintainable.
But they are heavier, its a trade off and yeah I have heard of tubeless spoked wheels as well.
On a proper roadbike? I reckon that ship has sailed a long time ago.
