But that’s OK, as long as you’re just out for a ride at night rather than a nightride.

Well spoken – But in concerns of traffic and potentially other peoples lives, it demands that those using these extreme lights make good use of a healthy common sense in terms of where and when to use them.

Update:
Thank you all for the good, helpfull posts (and the octopus biscuit). I have made my desicion and I am going for the American Classic. I have found a good (danish) place to get them, so now i just have to find out if i want to wait a couple of moths and pay the extra money for the MTB race 26 model og safe some money and get the MTB 26 tubeless – a bit heavier, probably a bit stronger, and awailable right away. I will give you another update when I have decided and tried the wheels.

I get what you are saying – but still! Where will i be able to by the american classic MTB Race and maybe when will i be able to order it – and what would it cost?? Because it looks like a very tempting set of wheels!

Thank you for some good comments so fare. I think I will stay away from the Superstar wheels (and builds). Since I am living in Denmark and therefore have to send the wheels away for a longer period of time if something happens, I do not want to buy from a place with a history of bad wheel builds and customer service.

Have a look at American Classic. Really light, tough and a lot cheaper than Mavic et al.
Their Race 26 wheels are <1350g the pair.

I have looked at these – but had a hard time finding a place to buy them? Following their homepage they should be available late Jan 2012 – anybody knows what the price will be/where to buy (maybe preorder) them??

the octopus reference will amuse the local and confuse you [sorry]

You’re forgiven – but hopefully there will be others that can be more useful to me – but it is a nice looking biscuit 😉
