I’ve had this wheelset for just over a year, but haven’t really got on with the whole 29er thing, and am now selling my 29er bike due to lack of use (I almost always use my 26”). They’ve been ridden on-road a bit with road tyres on in summer 2013, and have been ridden off-road 5 times this year with Maxxis Advantage XC UST tyres on (included with the wheelset).
The wheels are in remarkable condition, due to the lack of off-road action. They are true, and the hub action is perfect. The wheels are set up as 15mm thru-axle at the front, and the new 142mm thru-axle at the rear, but they can easily (5 min job) be converted to 9mm QR at either or both ends with the adapters that I am also including (but not pictured). 9mm QRs are however NOT included.
I installed the tyres “Tubeless” with American Classic tubeless valves and latex installed; however any tyre can be run with or without a tube if desired. They are fully compatible with “Tubeless-ready” tyres. They are designed only to take disc brakes – 6 bolt Intl Standard.
Also included is the American Classic Instruction leaflet, brake rotor re-enforcers (for use of super-lightweight brake discs) and a cassette spacer ring (important for some cassettes, read the Instruction leaflet).
I have a set of the Race 26s on my Zesty and they’ve been superb. These Race 29ers, at 1419 g for the pair (!!!!!) are about as light at 29er wheels can get, and yet are incredibly strong and flex free (I weigh 12 stone). They are much lighter than carbon wheels twice the price !! They’ve won multiple shoot-outs in magazines worldwide,here’s one: http://www.cyclistno1.co.uk/gear/components/wheels/american-classic-race-29-tubeless.htm

RRP for this wheelset is £700, I'm asking £350 posted to UK Mainland
