Can’t decide between the XC3/Stans 355 and AM4/Flow wheelsets to replace a set of Crossrides on a ’06 Marin Rocky Ridge. I’m close to but below the recommended weight limit for the XC3s, but don’t (voluntarily) jump off stuff etc, but I tend to use the RR for slightly more demanding riding on Surrey Hills trails, Quantocks, Exmoor etc and am not necesarily the smoothest or most skilled rider.
The RR has already been on a diet (Fox 120s etc) to make it more of a general purpose trail bike and I’d like to get some more weight off and add easy tubeless compatability with the XC3 set – but will they be too fragile? The AM set look to be a good 500g heavier.
Yor advice?
