Product Description
The Mad Fiber Clincher Wheelset is more than just a pretty face. In fact, in everyday terms, it's more like a supermodel with a PhD in aerospace engineering. Mad Fiber started with tubulars, and in order to alleviate the ailments that have long plagued carbon clinchers, it took its time bringing them to the market. However, good things happen to those who wait. Now, the Clincher Wheelset has superior braking, heat dispersion, rigidity, and aerodynamics, all at around a feathery 1300 grams. To say that Mad Fiber's Clincher Wheelset construction is labor intensive would be an understatement. Are they Handmade? Certainly. Manufactured from start to finish in America by aerospace engineers? You bet. Ridiculously light? Just read ahead. The wheelset features a staggered depth with the front wheel at 60mm and the rear at 66mm. And even while being this deep, the Mad Fiber Clinchers only tip the scales around 1300 grams. Think about that for a second. That's lighter than Zipp 202 Firecrest Clinchers, Enve SES 3.4 Clinchers, and the Reynolds Thirty Two Cs. If you haven't noticed the trend, these wheels are all 35mm or less in depth. At this point, you have to be wondering how Mad Fiber did it? So, let's get into the carbon wizardry world of Ric Hjertberg. Perhaps you don't know the name, but maybe you've heard of a not-so-little company called Wheelsmith? Well, Ric was the founder of that. And coupled with a stint as FSA's technology manager, it's safe to say that Ric knows a thing or two about wheels. However, with a lively new breed of engineers, Ric has been able to, quite literally, reinvent the wheel. Upon first look, you'll notice that the entire wheel is comprised of carbon fiber. And while this has been done by companies like Lightweight and dare we say it, Spinergy, Mad Fiber's wheels are essentially a single unit design that completely negates the use of bladders -- an all-too-commonplace, needless addition to wheel weight.
