i wish they are 700 bucks what about the crossrides the have straight pull spokes and weigh 1910 grams a set

trouble with wheels like that is what if you bust out a spoke? no regular bike shop carries straight pull spokes in their inventory... you gotta order them and wait...

if you're only 100 pounds doing 4 foot drops, hell get on some crappy XC wheels... there's no reason for you to NEED even an AM wheel... to be fair, 4 feet is what i'd hardly call agressive all mountain... don't waste money on stuff you don't need...

trust me, if you're 100 pounds you shouldn't be busting regular wheels unless you're a total hack... i used to ride a full on XC bike off stuff bigger than you've described and i was like 140 pounds... never broke anything significant...

I saw snuffolophagus somewhere over the rainbow on his way to Hooville with a whole cart full of “light, strong, cheap” parts... unfortunately i didn't catch the brands of any of them before i woke up. d'oh!
