Being old enough to remember Fibre Flight, these don't look much different. :-/
not for MTB use I'd imagine.
Nice. Special hubs though. Don't see why not for mtb given that CX-Ray are pretty popular and these are the same but lighter and stronger, assuming hubs are available.
I think I'm still tainted by the images of shattered carbon fibre flight spokes.

much prefereed using the likes of Spinergy's Spox, fibre braid, flexible enough to be used on a wheel.
Of course these are all assumptions and the proof will be in the testing as to real world durability.
I'd rather have a Tioga disc drive 🙂
Nothing beats the noise of those disc drive wheels
