I have a Panasonic DX-3000 that I've been enjoying lately. The wheels are Exage hubs laced to Araya rims - nothing special, but they're true and in good shape. I assume they're original.
I have a set of wheels on another bike (one that's on the cut list) that are American Classic hubs laced to Matrix aero rims. There's a bit of wear on the rims, but they look like they have plenty of miles left, and the hubs are some of the smoothest I've felt.
So I'm thinking about swapping the wheelsets. Of course, this would mean ditching the original wheels for the Panasonic, which I wouldn't normally do, but they do seem rather common.
Can anyone comment on the American Classic hubs yea or nay, or offer any other insights that might help me decide what to do?
