Just noticed that Fetish has joined the bandwagon. That's a cool graphic job on the disc.

I got the 50mm tubulars. Mounted the front wheel and test rode it. Very smooth. It makes a nice little whistle as it rotates. Both wheels are a little out of true, but rideable. I need to contact Fetish about a special spoke wrench to true the wheels.
I probably won't get an extended ride on them until next spring, but for what its worth, the hubs feel smooth and the rims look good.

Now that I know some of you guys look through the special needs bags for kicks, I'm gonna put some really weird stuff in mine. I can see it now. "What the heck was he going to do with a family pack of KFC chicken, a football helmet full of peanut butter, a 12 inch rubber dildo, and naked pictures of Bea Arthur?"

I assume you didn't pay MSRP? they have to be on crack to demand that MSRP. their page is very sparse on info, they're not a known company like Zipp or Hed, and $1599 for a carbon clincher with "aluminum edge" is what Zipp asks. $2499 for a full carbon wheelset ... that's on par with Campy Hyperons, and they are nowhere as well known as Campy. how do I know that the carbon in their hubs isn't just carbon-weave stickers? oh, and it looks like some of their hubs are Am Classic. aside from the numerous bearing issues those hubs have, Am Classic advises against lacing the rear hub radially ... which Fetish Cycles has done.

They're on ebay for a buy it now price of around $500

I got mine from Ebay. I figured that they were worth the risk. Thus far, I have been fairly impressed and happy with the purchase. The rear is laced 2x, not radial. Plus, so long as the rim is good, I can get it laced up to another hub. The rim appears fine and rode very well in my test ride. Some slight truing and the wheel will be perfect.
From what I can tell, it is just a rebadged Hed Stinger. Not a bad deal. If you get them off ebay they include the brake pads for the rim.
