Guest Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Would a pair of American Classic wheels be strong enough for a 95kg rider on a Morewood Shova. My style of riding could be described, if you are very generous, as trail riding. Maybe a bit more than XC and way less than All Mountain. Max would be 4 ft drops and that's pushing it?

Lukep Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 As long as you ride them with a reasonable tire preasure, they should be fine.
Guest Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Bos, I was hoping you would say something. Care to elaborate?
splat Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I would say that they are more light weight cross country wheels than strong trail wheels. I dont have a pair, so I am just guessing.
TYGA Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Jy is daai tipe amoreus wat met 'n "J" gespel word as jy daai wiele op 'n Shova sit. What tyres are planning on going with?

Nix M2 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I wouldn't suggest you ride American Classics - they are very lightweight wheels. I think their weight limit is 85kgs.
Guest Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I think their weight limit is 85kgs.That I did not know. Well then I will not even consider them. Thank you.
rouxtjie Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 they are popular on the hub, flog them and look at getting hope pro II's with ZTR flow's just my opinion though
KnobbyMech Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I wouldn't suggest you ride American Classics - they are very lightweight wheels. I think their weight limit is 85kgs. Not true! Also, you get XC and All Mountain type. Small weight diff.
Andrew_ew Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Mine are pretty strong - hit a rock hard and with a bit of pace - hard enough to cause half a somersault over the bars and the front rim did not even need truing - I am about 80 odd kgs
Lounge Lizard Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Link to wheel table - with rider weight limits; http://www.amclassic.com/documents/2011-Wheel-Chart.pdf
Guest Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Link to wheel table - with rider weight limits; http://www.amclassic.com/documents/2011-Wheel-Chart.pdf Sheez, it can take a 114Kg rider! I can suck a few more beers before I get there! Surely they should be more than strong enough for the light trail riding if they can handle that much weight?
whistler Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Hope pro 2 with Stans ZTR Flow rims. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
