1. man you one ugly mother fucker
2. I love my set.
3. with a credit card, priceless rofl
4. Run! Two scary looking zombies, err, dudes.
5. You guys have been dukein it out. You both WIN !! PM me your t-shirt size and address. Thanks for your passion and respect to one another. 
6. part 2. A wheel disintegrated while you were going full speed, just like the videos on youtube I mentioned, and you did not feel any fear? Congrats! The closest I ever came to that on my 1973 steel-rimmed antique is a broken spoke, which I didn't notice for weeks except for a slight ticking noise that took that long to track down because I never broke a spoke before and didn't realize spokes sometimes break. The 1/4 inch wheel bend comes back to straight when the spoke is replaced.
7. "Equal" what? That is so ambiguous it really makes no sense. Seems you've just got a idee fixee phobia of carbon but nothing to really back it up. Carbon wheels have have been the norm in the peloton for near a decade now. Almost every Sunday group ride has at least one person with carbon wheels. I've been using carbon stuff - from frames, forks, handlebars, seatposts, wheels, for years and have had failures, but they were no the horrible catastrophy you make it to be.
8. Not exactly true. What engineers do is scale down the quantity of material used (say aluminum or carbon fiber) so that it gives the same stiffness (of say steel) so that the items are "equal." But doing this with material that has radically different characteristics at the point of failure, and actually operating near this point, is dangerous.
9. Not really fair asssessment. An equivalent aluminum wheel would be looking like a taco long before the carbon wheel failed. This is why carbon is such a brilliant material, because it's properties never change, until breaking pont. Also carbon can be built several ways... Different weave patterns different thread counts, different directional patterns, etc. It's one of the few materials that can be customized in certain areas for load without directly adding more material (metal).
10. Unless this is somehow different than other carbon fiber, there are some scarey youtube videos of carbon wheels unraveling, not having hit anything, while the riders are zooming along. There are some excuses for this. One is that making carbon fiber without even one defect is so difficult, perhaps impossible. Steel and aluminum don't need to be just perfect to not fail this way. Another thing is that over-stressed carbon shreds, but metal bends and stays in one piece.
11. 14 ounces - Just shy of one pound - without a tire , man oh man that is LITE
12. Don't hit a bump
13. 0:08 - Incorrect. Mad Fiber are some of the best wheels for heavy riders out there. They are amazingly stiff and carbon is far superior to aluminum rims and steel spokes... since carbon doesn't fatigue like metal and is amazingly resilient material. In fact, that's why you can't even true them... because they're so resilient they'll never go out of true. 
14. Eh. These have been around.
15. True it with a credit card! FTW! I think there's a how it's made YT video on those. Labor intensive!
16. • 1,050g/pair, no rider weight limit • 2-year warranty with crash replacement policy $2,999.00 
17. do they provide life insurance policies with each wheelset? I am all about innovations but to tell you the truth, them wheels scare me!!
18. Carlos is correct, there is no rider weight limit. They claim to be "amazingly strong." What I really like is if you turn their logo upside down it almost looks like the Waylon Jennings "flying W." Maybe I will get a set for my new Cervelo P5... 
19. sweet...though I suspect I just might be one of those Clydesdales you mention...
20. From what I remember Mad Fiber doesn't put a weight limit on their wheels.
