ByronH Posted November 16, 2018 Share So i love my wheelset. AMC Wide Lightning... had it for almost a year no, with zero incidents... no wobble, no popped spokes, no dents... just solid, light and I can run very low pressures. I was sad to hear the news of AMC's demise earlier this yearhttps://www.pinkbike.com/news/american-classic-calls-it-quits-for-now.html...as I can't imagine not replacing my Wide Lightnings with anything else other than another set of Wide Lightnings. But, the AMC website seems alive and well? No signs of death? And we still seem to be selling their products online in South Africa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted November 16, 2018 Share Cape cycle systems are the distributor and they bought enough spares to service existing stock and legacy customers for a few years. There shouldn’t be an issue if you decide to buy a set new or 2nd hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An online company is selling the remaining stock:https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2018/05/29/new-e-commerce-company-offering-american-classic-parts#.W-6ybjgzaUk I needed new spoked for my AC Argent's, but they weren't available.Stock will be limited and once sold out, that's the end of that. What a pity, because I also love my Wide Lightnings and Argent tubeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
