The hour record was set on a track, only one acceleration was needed. The heavy wheels are typically only used in time trial and track events because these events are usually flat. I think results obtained would be much different and quite unacceptable if one tried to use them in a criterium or road race where the riders speed up occassionally, as when coming out of corners or over the tops of hills or attempting a break.
