[zork]

hi

 

which wheelsets would you prefer

1.xtr

2.mavic crossmax slr

3.american classic top end tubeless

which one is the best in your opinion

[Bike Mob]

3 - Good value for money

2 - Nice looking but the maintenance is expensive

1 - Very Good wheels and very strong - I just don't like the centrelock rotors that's all.

I have an XTR set for you if you are looking... R2750, wheelset only.

 

Also Specials on AmClassics @ R3950 a pair brand new.

What's the condition of the XTR wheels and what's their weight. (If zork don't want them)

[Bike Mob]

I think they weigh 1580g

 

They are in fair condition, true. Just the bearings are a little rough but easily sorted.

 

I have 2 peeps in line for these already, but will take photo's anyway.

Hey Tarmac

 

Can you get the AC 29er wheels? How much?

[Bike Mob]

Yes I can!

 

How does R4950 grab you!

Hi Tarmac, until when will you have the AmClassics at that price?

[Bike Mob]

There is still a couple of sets but they will run out soon. You can pay a deposit and I will keep you a set...how long do you need?

End of next week should be fine. Are these still the old AC's? I understand there are new AC's on the market.

what is the difference between the old AC wheels and the new AC wheels?

I am not sure if there is any difference, I was told there are new AC's on the market. Not sure myself.

ZTR or American Classics?

What is the verdict, which is better?

[firewolf]

Don't know about the off road version but my road AC RD440's stay true, keep rolling, are lightweight and stiff, and cost effective in terms of innitial outlay.

[Bike Mob]

The used set I had was the old spec.

 

The new pairs I have are 2010 models. New graphics, and the rims are now tubeless ready. They are also lighter by about 40g. Also the freehub body now has steel reinforcement plates to prevent the cassette teeth biting in.

ZTR or American Classics?

What is the verdict, which is better?

 

Ztr's usually use AMclassic hubs in their sets, only now do they have their own hub which is a copy of the amclassic...

 

The ZTR rims are a little lighter, and lower profile, and is kinda tubeless specific. but their light rims have weight limits.

 

The amclassic rim has a higher weight limit and is a great weight off the shelf.
