American classic race 29er wheelset?

[Bat-ass]

Its been a month or so, anybody got any further experience with the durability of the AM 29er race wheels. Im also concerned about the light weight?

They are simply awesome, I find them to be stiffer than the Tubeless versions.

The only logic is that the rim is deeper and wider, all in all one of the best wheel sets I have ridden.

I've had my set for about a week now, haven't ridden it unfortunatelly, still busy building up the bike. They weighed 1425g WITH the AM Classic rimstrips. And they look way past sexy. I've pimped mine out with light weight (red) quick releases, taking another 50g or so off.

Thanks Dangle. Are you using them as everyday wheels, or do you train/race on different wheels? I used to train/race on different wheels, but got sick and tired on managing 2 sealant tubless setups... so just want an awesome reliable do everything wheel....

Where can I get these for how much?

Every day wheels, every set we have sold has also been solid

Been using mine for about 4 or 5 months if I recall.

your going to have to compare tha AM classics against the ZTR gold race not the crest, and the gold race is about 10k

There is also something about those AM hubs / bearings....jeeeeeez they spin forever.

[Mr SingleTrack]

How do these compare with Easton AE 90 XC? Yes they weigh less but which is the strongest?

[Vega]

I have the usual Stans Crest/Hope hub/DT Swiss spokes combination as well as AC Race (29) wheels. Found the AC Race wheels to be at least as good as the Crests. The ACs weigh the same as my 26 Crests.

Ek het myne nou vir seker 5 maande en het al van die epic roetes gery en ek kan regtig nie kla nie. party ouens kla die wiele is te sag, maar dit is gewoonlik die ouens wat op 'n HT met te lae druk ry.

Does any one know that the weight of the rim is?

[Lance Roberts]

Is there a rider weight limit for these rims?
