Anyone got these and have anything positive or negative to say about them please. I'm thinking of getting a pair. Best I've found is £300.

Get them. Because that is the wrong price. They should be £500.

But I would not be surprised if the dealer does not have them, and can not get them, or chooses not to sell them for a loss.

Great wheels by the way.

There is a £350 wheel set from AC called "terrain"... Make sure you get the right ones.

Got them.
Nice and light.
I have barely ridden mine, but others in my grop have them, and no bad reports i am aware of.

Wouldn't mind betting that's just the rear wheel

What does "colour: Raw" mean? I thought they were black or white.

They're actually £599 for 2013, up from £499, and with no image available, I'd be very suspicious. Despite the £100 price hike I still think they're great value for what they are though.

I believe the 2013 and 2012 wheels are identical aside from graphics. But I think 2012 saw a new rim design so I'd buy 2011 wheels with caution as well.

I've ridden [url= http://www.cyclistno1.co.uk/gear/components/wheels/american-classic-all-mountain-26-tubeless.htm ]2012 26ers[/url] and [url= http://www.cyclistno1.co.uk/gear/components/wheels/american-classic-all-mountain-29-tubeless.htm ]2013 29ers[/url] and they're frankly superb wheels; very, very superb.

The 28mm rim width eclipses a lot of other so called All Mountain wheels, the 1760g weight eclipses a lot of so called xc wheels, yet I've had them down the FOD downhill trails and they've been nothing short of impressive. The real deal IMO.

It was tredz, yes. Seemingly too good to be true.

I'd ring em up and confirm the model, stock, and if it's a pair.. If they are that's a great price..

Looks like they've (Tredz) have removed that wheelset from their sales list..?

I was investigating them at work today and was put off once I saw the pawl engagement system with the cam plate; had a similar wheelset many moons ago and it was unreliable and not up to UK riding conditions.

househusband: FWIW I've done around 1000km since October in all conditions on them and they've been bullet proof so far.

Cheers, Gary. Went for some MT66's in the end, seeing as CRC were kind enough to have a special offer over the weekend.
