The FSA website lists them @ 1880g. Maybe they changed the aluminum nipples that MTBR reviewers kept complaining about to brass?  Nice lookin rims and distinctive lookin hubs, and even at 1880g - they are still pretty light for the US$300 or so price. I think I've seen some FSA wheelsets at Paulina's or King's - but can't remember if they are road or ATB wheels. |

Saw a couple of pairs at Ross Cycle a couple of months ago, retailed at Php16,xxx.xx, if I'm not mistaken.

Cobym is sporting this wheelset - is it the Heckler Got a pair from Ross last year for.....................12K! Sold it to a teammate for 10k and i included the rotors. Looking back, I wish I didn't sell it. My only beef is that it's impossible to have converted to tubeless. |

do you have any feedback on the hubs? does it have any issues like the american classic hubs? if you were to choose, would you pick the xc300 or the mavic crossride?

pazigrider,
Its on my hardtail.
Raul,
I converted it to tubeless and its running fine. A little hard to inflate, but I attribute that to the tires.
Crazyjeys,
I've had no issues with the hub yet, but its a bit too early to judge durability. So far, they have a nice quiet whirr when freewheeling.
I must say the skewers are excellent!!! If I sell the wheelset, I'll probly keep the skewers.

If I sell the wheelset, I'll probly keep the skewers. I had mine converted but it kept on leaking air. It could have been a bad tire or valve. But anyway, FSA's are sweet wheels. I'd recommend them. |
