What - Weight? Price?
Weight - the 350's come in 2 versions - regular and Sapim spoke options. The regulars are in the neighborhood of 1350 grams/set and the Sapim version is 1275/set.
Price - MSRP is $600 + $100 for the Sapim option. Prices vary depending on where you buy. I got mine w/Sapim for $500 new.
Colors - only 2 options remain - all black or all silver - no more mixing and matching.

55/Rad,
How would you describe the difference on the flats and on the climbs between the AC 350s and your Rolf Elans? Have you tried these on the same bike as a comparison yet?
Thanks.
Sorry to divert the thread...

Do you know the actual weight of those AC 350 rims? I know the AC420 are coming out at 450 grams accoding to some threads over at roadbikereview.com
I'm sure the total weight of the wheeslet is legit. I'm just wondering about the rims?
With the Sapim option are they dropping the spoke count to get the 75 gram savings or just using thinner spokes?

55, I'm interested in your observations. I borrowed my brother in law's 350's and rode them to see if there was any real difference between them and the Elans. I'll look for your thread later on.

These look like the best spokes on the market. How much would it cost to have my wheels rebuilt with them?
Notice they are as strong as titanium and aerodynamic.

$2.50 each. Impressive description if you click on the link though.
$150 for a complete set. Sounds like a good deal. I was almost thinking it might be better to order a Sapim spoked wheel from glory cycles.

So which wheels do you like better and why (Rolf's vs AC350?).
Those sapim spokes are supposedly very springy steel.

Those are over the top.
These would be a little over $500. https://www.gottaridebikes.com/Mercha...oduct_Count=14
Thanks for the Link Trogon.
