Has anybody seen this ad running in MBA and other bike mags??

I'm not dogging on Stan's, I'm actually quite the fanboy and really like my Crests. I just have to wonder, how can he drop almost 1/2 lb. from my Crests? (I know the spokes are lighter, but still)

Wonder what they ride like??

You are talking about the ZTR Race wheels which have a rider weight limit of 170 lbs. Search this forum and read experiences of those who have them. The wheels have been around for a season or more.

They look flexy.

(Someone had to say it.)

terrifying. I still have scars from riding my light weight wheels down a technical fast rocky descent and not just the mental ones you may suspect.

I have 2 friends with them. They ride them as everyday wheels as well as races. No complaints. Both of them are are below 155 lbs.

It seems to me Stan could go to China and find a company to do an inexpensive but strong carbon layup rim with his patented bead, and they would sell like...iPhones.

that's basically what I thought, but the ad makes it appear as if something new is coming out. It says "redesign" and it looks like its going to be using the Ti 3.30 hubs too.

that would definitely be killer! and being Stan's, they'd probably go from some sort of absurd 1100 gram 29er wheelset or something.

Agreed. They'd likely get my $$$.
