I took this question with me to my bike shop, where the wheel was repaired today. The owner/mechanic there does not think it would help much. He called it an old BMX technique. He can be a little dismissive though. A little bull-headed.

He said people have done tests, showing it stronger, I guess. But he insisted the extra cost is not worth it. Hmmmm...

He was also wicked dismissive of my eBike build three years ago. Everything I did was wrong in his eyes. Now he sells eBkies, too. Lol

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
