Mopkop Posted June 21, 2015 Share @ Drago, do you use your 38s daily? How have they held up since you got them? Im a bit skeptical about taking thr fulcrums to the machines, ons kyk maar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted June 21, 2015 Share @ Drago, do you use your 38s daily? How have they held up since you got them? Im a bit skeptical about taking thr fulcrums to the machines, ons kyk maarI've cleared my inventory of wheels and theses are all I use now. Change tyres fr races instead of wheels now:) Once they arrived I had the spike tension checked and trued. But otherwise they've been totally bombproof man. And I'm HEAVY!!! On the dark side of 105kgs at the moment. and nothing beats having a carbon wheelset for training:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted June 21, 2015 Share American Classic 420'sall the way. While fools roll on their carbon covered wheels like the cycling equivalent of a wonder bra or on actual bur heavy carbon no names you can sit back and be happy you have a super light, responsive wheel set that can be easily maintained and lasts. Also, you don't go sideways when there is a puff of wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the dark side of 105kgs at the moment. and nothing beats having a carbon wheelset for training:)Ive always wanted a carbon wheelset, just a bit scared of using it as a daily ride. BUT after reading this I'm defnetly considering going carbon and I only weigh 70kgs on a BAD day American Classic 420'sall the way.

Also, you don't go sideways when there is a puff of wind. The 420's tick most of the boxes, theyre just a tad bit over my budget for a daily wheelset. Maybe I should spend a bit more and get one decent wheelset to do everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should spend a bit more and get one decent wheelset to do everything I bought a set for racing and had a pretty decent set of 'training' wheels for most of the day to day needs. Haven't strapped the training wheels on in about 8 months because they just feel so dead compared top my AC's. Am actually looking to pick up some as either a new set of race wheels or another AC model as a training set. I got mine overseas and then had them sent over. Think it worked out to be about R4500.Alot of the AC's are now tubeless for road. Pretty keen for some magnesium's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 23, 2015 Share Also have a set of Fulcrum 3's which I'm will be using for my new soon-to-be built, steel-framed, 11-speed build. Very happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
