American Classic 420 or Eurus?
Hey,
I love my topololino's but Im getting some clicking in the front hub so I'm sending it back.. and in the meantime I'd like to try something else.
I'm 190 lbs, and I can't decide between the am classic 420 or the Eurus. I think the eurus looks sweet, has good reviews, but I also hear the same for the 420's except some people are hesitant on the 420's because of the hubs...
Anybody ridden both, or have any experience with how they stay true, hubs etc?
I'll be putting them on a litespeed ultimate/record 10, but I dont think it matters...

There should be no concern over the AC hubs any longer. There was a one time issue several years back that was resolved. I have used both the AC sprint 350 and the 420s for thousands of miles w/o any issues. At 190, however, you will flex the 420s with a hard effort, enough to get brake rub.
