for everyone
Category:Other
Ordered these a few weeks ago from Chain Reaction for £275, and they were just under a week later than advertised when they arrived from the US.

Website: - http://www.amclassic.com/index.html

They weigh just 1550g for the pair with the skewers supplied, and are just as pimpy as you like. No apparent problems so far, and they didn't need truing up after the first race with them. American Classic's blurb advises a riders' weight limit, so these are definitely NOT for big hitters and freeriders. For me they are perfect though, and the price/weight equation seems to make them better value than competing products from Mavic and Hope, time will tell if they're up to extended hard use. The graphics are a bit sudden but if you can get over looking like an avertising hoarding (to quote BigRing) then all is good.

They looked great when I saw the bike at Thetford. How much lighter can you get?

Are you talking about my bike (10.18kg in current spec) of the new wheels?

Apparently the wheels start from about 1450g, which entails speccing ceramic bearings, exotic spokes, Ti QR's and a price tag to match!
