It does look like crap. I'm sure it works like it's supposed to, but it looks like something a 3rd grader put together with a glue stick. You love your bike schwag don't you?

who doesn't??

Had I the requisite disposable income, I'd buy me some Mad Fiber wheels right quick! I read something, somewhere, about the clincher using an aluminum tire bed to help dissipate braking heat so any heat build up on long descents would not result in the tire bed deforming with catastrophic results.

Then it's ok by me.

That's always nice.

Vaporware

it's all marketing anyway.

Mad Vaporware in fact.

People with dough can afford drugs.

Tubeless ready... do want.

Am I the only one who loves these things, looks and all? Maybe it's the engineer in me, but I think these are some of the best designed wheels out there. A lot of light weight wheel aren't very stiff. These are light, stiff, strong, and reasonable priced.

Actually, aside from aero/trispokes, they are probably the most easily recognizable road bike wheel out there.

Just saw the photos. Good thing is they are light and seem to never come out of true, bad thing is they cost $3,000 and if they ever come out of true you have to toss them and buy new ones.
