I was trying to make a comment about the actual product and the amount of flex that others have also noticed. Maybe one day, Magpie, I will be of the skill level that will allow me to finish my ride fast enough to get home and wash all the brown off of my nice wheels. Or I might just have to walk my supple behind home because my ultra cool wheels flexed into a giant taco (mmm...taco...). I would just like to know if they have stiffened up the wheels before going out a dropping my hard earned $$ on a wheelset that will not hold up. Lipstick on a pig still smells like swine (mmm....bacon...) Nice. I was trying to make a comment about the actual product and the amount of flex that others have also noticed.

Say 250 or so :-) Also, I think that there is a skill level required to ride the white wheels. Don't worry, you'll get there some day Hey Chris,

Actually makes the white Fox fork look even further out of place.

I am hopeful that I will be receiving some more info tomorrow on them, but they probably aren't like the ones we've all heard about before. XchokeX: Anytime a company ventures from the safe haven of black or silver components you will elicit reactions such as yours. It happens anytime "color" components become available in cycling. I think its great. Black and silver get old pretty fast too, ya know? ;) chris: These are supposedly all new wheels for American Classic.

I wonder if the color helps to mask the flex. Nice wheels. I wonder if the color helps to mask the flex.
