GEAR: Mad Fiber; Reinventing The Wheel

Our Gear Ed arrived at the office today with these beauties in tow at a pretty R25K. Bragging rights to whoever guesses how much they weigh (including tyres, cassette and quick releases).

When you switch to these spectacular looking hoops, it’ll feel like you have an extra two gears. At an incredible 1085g and with flat shapes everywhere, it’s clear they’re light enough for the hills and plenty slippery for your planned breakaway. But it’s their stiffness that impresses most, with the spokes bonded over a large surface area of the rim and wrapping around the hub’s core. Yes, the wheel has been reinvented.
