Lightweight Meilenstein Gen 4 Clincher vs Mad Fibers
Moderator: robbosmans
Anyone using the new Lightweight Gen 4 Clincher wheelset? I am looking to buy a set of carbon clincher wheelset and alot of people seem to like the new Mad Fibers. But I am unable to get much feedback on the new Lightweight wheelsets. Any thought?
Thanks~

What sort of problems? In my view the only issue about Lightweights is you can't get the spokes replaced at your LBS. But that is a non problem anyway as Lightweight spokes don't pop like conventional spokes. It would have to be a pretty severe and unusual crash to break a Lightweight spoke. I've got a set of the new 47.5mm tubular Meilenstein wheels and apparently they are 30% stiffer and more durable than the 53cm version which were ultra stiff and durable anyway.

I would take madfiber carbon clincher
Its not entirely carbon, there is some steel in it.
Still when you cycle with bloody expensive wheelsets like this, i rather not...they cost more than some car wheels for godness sake...and carbon clinchers braking...still questionable.

yeah, i heard some good feedbacks on the mad fibers but not into the looks. LW looks much nicer to me.

I would have to disagree with the first point.
But not the 2nd.

Where are you located? In North America problems with LW are more pronounced as you have to send them to Germany for repairs.
