Price Paid:  $0.00 at ebay

Favorite Ride:
Blue ridge parkway

Bike Setup:
Lemond Buenos Aires
Full Ultegra

Summary:
Bought these as an upgrade to my Lemond. They already had 2500 miles on them when I purchased.
I wanted something relatetively light with a veiw to occasional competition but strong enough for very day riding. American Classic are the only manufacturer I which publishes a recommended weight limit for their wheels. As I was then 220lb these seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
Well another 1000 miles on these wheels and I am highly delighted with them. Roads I ride are relatively smooth but they have hit some pot holes pretty hard this summer, these wheels have not had to be tured yet.

Strengths:
Reasonabley light and climb well.
Very Durable for a heavier rider.

Weaknesses:
None to date

Price Paid:  $475.00 at Bennetts Bicycles

Bike Setup:
Giant OCR2, Ultegra-Dura Ace mix, Ritchey seatpost and stem.

Summary:
My bike originally came with a set of Xero XSR-4's and I rode them for about 5000 miles. I never had a real problem with them, but wanted something that rolled better with some good strength. Well, I found it. The Hurricane wheelset is light, strong and rolls beautifully. The acceleration is smooth and fast and I really could not ask for more. I would buy another set of these wheels in a minute. I have about 2000 miles on them and they are still as true as can be. I weigh between 175-180lbs so that is no easy task for a wheel. Bravo American Classic Hurricanes!

Strengths:
Stiff, strong, light, they roll well, 32 spokes.

Weaknesses:
none
