New rear wheel spoke placement: The re-engineered rear wheel has the left- and right-side spokes intersect at the rim, instead of the previous alternating placement, for significant gains in radial strength and lateral stiffness beyond the already lofty benchmark of the first-generation design. Additional benefits of the new configuration include improved wheel trueness, roundness and dish—and as before, Mad Fiber wheels can NEVER come out of true. The new, aluminum freehub body (replacing the titanium White Industries freehub body of the first generation wheels) is 11-speed compatible with all the major brands, remains reverse-compatible to 10-speed cassettes and in some instances even 8- and 9-speed variants. The new freehubs are also interchangeable with each other, so the new-generation wheels can be converted from Campagnolo to Shimano/SRAM, and vice versa, with a simple freehub body swap. Aluminum axles replace the Cr-Mo steel axles of the first wheels, and are updated to include a locking, more easily adjustable bearing collar – something the mechanics out there will appreciate. Industry-leading Enduro Blue ABEC-3 bearings remain as our standard steel bearing. Ceramic bearing wheels will now feature Ceramic Speed™ bearings, which are also available as an aftermarket upgrade for the stainless bearing-equipped wheels. Our previous aluminum bearing seats have been upgraded to Garolite, a fiber-reinforced plastic that enables a superior bond with the wheels’ carbon hubshells, for improved wheel and bearing durability. We’re proud to introduce a custom graphics program, due to popular demand. Beyond the stock graphics (white for the tubulars, gray/white for clinchers), Mad Fiber will offer a special-order program with: all black/stealth graphics; gray/red; gray/blue; and gray/orange color schemes. Pricing: Available in Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo; Clincher or Tubular; and in your choice of graphic: Steel bearings $2,999.99; Ceramic bearings $3,199.99 The wheels come with a two year warranty (including two year crash replacement program), and no rider weight restriction.
