at one point on sunday's ride i was sucking some major wheel thinking that it would be awesome to have a set or two of those MadFiber wheels. no weight limits, aero, strong, fast, light...
Until a few moments ago when i pulled up that page to link (had to dig through bike hugger's archives to find it) I didn't know that the set cost $2600. that's kind of a lot of money.
Sort of.
I guess when you factor in everything else and hopefully how long they will last. Heck factor a four year warranty and lets see that is a mere $650/year. Certainly plenty of people spend that much on wheels/equipment every year. Even has a damage replacement policy.
That and the pair of them weigh only 345 grams more than ONE of my commuter tires. That's pretty sweet right there.
Heck and at that price it makes Zinn's cranks seem affordable. Something else I would also love to get a hold of.

you know there's a middle ground between the shit you ride and $2600 wheelsets, right?
for someone who is 205 pounds?
really there isn't much that is carbon that will do that weight.
Zipp 404 MAX wheels are only a few hundred dollars less and 700 grams heavier.
Your Zipp info is right, weight wise and such.
But they are WAY more aero.
Besides, you could just get a set of Cosmic Carbone Ultimates, pony up for MP3 insurance and just be done.
Or any of their other wheels for that matter.
more aero than the madfiber ones?
Carbones? even more money than the madfiber... and madfiber is made by some crazy engineer dudes in the best city in the world... well i dunno if it is the best but it is pretty darn good...
The heaviest wheelset you can buy weighs about 4 pounds. The lightest you can buy weighs over 2 pounds. You just said that YOU weigh 205 pounds...
Carbon rims? What are you thinking?
good f'n point solobreak - good fucking point
Hey Willi, wanna but an SL2?
