Yeah, yeah, yeah… I know about the ST objections to Madfiber wheels and the soap opera threads of the past. However I still find their approach interesting and unique. check out their execution of a clincher. Really slick IMO…

Thanks for the link. That is pretty slick!
wouldn’t putting on that extra track either
#1. make the rim way too large to fit a 700c wheel on
#2. with it off, make the wheel wayy to small for a 700 tubular?
Picture 3 in the link… I can’t upload it through tinypic…
it goes ‘inside’ not ‘on top’

I love these wheels. All you haters can suckit. They are awesome. I don’t see a lip on these clinchers to hold the bead…just looks smooth.
B. Read the article
Finally: I hope you’re not telling me to suck it
What jack said… That’s a photo of someone holding the aluminum clincher extrusion insert on top of a tubular wheel. The Alu insert replaces what’s ‘between’ the brake tracks on the tubular.
These are great wheels. I think they are better suited to road bikes for an everyday wheel. I think there are better options for TT bikes in that $ range.
When the clinchers come out I’m on it.
Everyone knows clinchers are faster than tubulars :-).
