AC terrain or Rapide R27 650b advice needed

[Trance Dance]

I'm looking at a new wheelset and these both look good. Does anyone have experience with either of these two? The AC are a better known brand, but slightly heavier and a R1000 more.

 

Thanks

the rapide hubs are easier to switch axle standards. I eventually had to get a new hub for my AC wheels as the 15mm axle adapter was impossible to get and not the same as the race wheels.

The 15mm American Classic adapters are available at Evobikes. Check Buycycle for the AC Terain wheels, best price i've seen.

dont think those are the ones compatible with terrain hubs.

I was hoping it is as I am planning on buying a set of AC Terrain 650b wheels soon.

Thanks for the info, I guess compatibility will be the deciding factor. I have an adaptor if you looking, it is a Qr15 thru axle to 9mm qr.

I looked at both when I was building up my Momsen. I eventually went for the Rapide as thought it was worth the gamble just due to the fact that they were lighter and came with all the adapters. I have been very impressed with the wheel set. I weight 95kgs and have given the wheels a good go as I do reasonably technical XC riding. Wheels are still true after a year of riding. I would recommend the Rapides
