    So i love my wheelset. AMC Wide Lightning... had it for almost a year no, with zero incidents... no wobble, no popped spokes, no dents... just solid, light and I can run very low pressures. I was sad to hear the news of AMC's demise earlier this year https://www.pinkbike.com/news/american-classic-calls-it-quits-for-now.html... as I can't imagine not replacing my Wide Lightnings with anything else other than another set of Wide Lightnings. But, the AMC website seems alive and well? No signs of death? And we still seem to be selling their products online in South Africa?

    So my Google skills seems to be failing me and only able to get to a bike shop over the weekend... hoping for some solid BikeHub advice till then. Does anybody know of a way to fit standard AC Wide Lightning wheels (15x100) to a boost (15x110) fork? Can you convert the existing hub in some way or are there adapters available AND does anyone have experience with this / tried it?

    So as the title suggests am looking for some new boost wheels that will be light enough to pedal over distance but resilient enough to hand a few rock gardens and general trail riding. Weight and how they roll is as much a factor as I like to do distance as well as short fun stuff. The bike is boost which is another consideration. Actual boost hub's or the axle kit AC offer to make hub's boost compatible. Would rather not have boost but unfortunately the bike I wanted is. I can't see there is any perceivable difference between actual boost hub's and the axle conversion. Although some argue it's pointless having a boost bike and then just adjusting the spacing. I know in the real world I can't feel the difference . Have already ridden the bike with loan wheels that are boost hub's vs my wheels which are spaced . I will only be running 2.2 -2.3 rears and 2.3- 2.4 fronts if that has any bearing on my decision as the ac's are wide proper wide. Anyone who has ridden or owned either or both your input would be appreciated. As would anyone who wants to pass on some advice . Am leaning towards the smokin guns,what a freakin cool name . Oh and on a mid travel 9r Have put this out there instead of hassling MM ????????

    Hi all, I have a set of 650B American Classic wide lightnings on my Giant Trance. Really enjoy them. However, I notice that as I corner, there is a feeling of vibration/juddering almost as if the discs are touching the pads or something. The back end of the bike also feels a bit sketchy - like it's "loose". Anyone else experience this and have any idea what to do to resolve that?

    Hi Hubbers, I have recently been looking into a new wheelset. I saw the AM Smoking Gun wheels at CWCycles the first time a couple of months back. Then already I thought they were quite amazing. My question is does anyone have a set? Has anyone ridden a set? How are they? Would it be better to go for the Wide Lightnings which also come at a better price? As I understand it though the wider you go the better the ride gets. According to several reviews they are quite amazing. The next set I but might become my only set so I would like to buy versatile quality wheels. I have also looked at a set of Arch MK3/Hope Pro 4. Had Arches previously and quite liked them. Any advice, reviews and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks http://bikemob.co.za/2016/04/18/american-classic-smokin-guns-welcome-to-plush-sized-wheels/ http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/american-classic-smoking-gun-wheelset http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/american-classic-wide-lightning-29er-wheelset http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/ztr-29r-arch-mk3hope-pro-4-wheelset https://www.evobikes.co.za/wheels/wheelsets-mtb/new-2016-american-classic-smoking-gun-29er-tubeless-wheelset.html https://www.evobikes.co.za/wheels/wheelsets-mtb/american-classic-wide-lighting-29er-tubeless-wheelset.html

    Although not the first to launch properly wide rims, American Classic's Wide Lightning were the first to offer extra width in a light and strong rim. Billed for anything from XC to Enduro, we put them to test to see for ourselves how they hold up after months of real-life use. Click here to view the article
