Fixed, where do you derive that weight limit from? I must have missed it on AC's website:

http://www.amclassic.com/Wheels_Magnesium.html.

They are race wheels, but the rider on them from the LBS's team is 165 lbs, racing cross, and he has no problems with them.

BTW, how's that aluminum C'dale treatin' ya? (Did I see a carbon post on the pics you posted?, say it ain't so! :) ) Cheers!

bro it's so for the racin rig . I know all the guys from a.c. and i see guys with problems all the time i.m.h.o. they are fine if you don't need a brake surface like to true your wheels every 200 miles and replace your bearings often if you have have a.c. mags get their new tubular mag they weigh about 250 grams cheers :beer:
