Knersboy Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Just yesterday I serviced my AC freehub and was thinking what a great system that is, now I am not so positive. Surely after all the hoo haa is over they will be back in the market.
Andrew_Smith Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Pretty sure they will stay in SA (I really hope so - I am a huge fan). The company might just be bought by someone new.
Eugene Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Scary.... One of the big brands of world cycling. Let's hope they find a buyer.
billygoat0523 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 hey C1 Fracture... you just bought a pair of AC's
PhilipV Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Makes me reassess the wheels etc I wanted to build with AC hubs.
Cafe Racer Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Great wheels, will be a pity if no one buys them out
steveO:K Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Well that sucks!You mean wheel that sucks. Great wheels. I am happy with my 29er race wheels.
Jewbacca Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 This is what happens when you build your rims out of cheese....
Meezo Posted January 6, 2018 Author Posted January 6, 2018 This is what happens when you build your rims out of cheese.... This is true, I've owned a few sets, all cheese
taito Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 For the small okes ,,great cheese.I wonder if this could be true.
Breezer Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Never had mtb wheels, but the road wheels are superb.
