Today was my 1st time riding them. They are really stiff and light, but I only put in 17miles today, so it's hard to say how well they'll hold up to my 190lbs. The interesting thing is that the Cane Creek wheels feel pretty much the same as the ACs despite the Creeks being ~400grams heavier. Their claim of the nipples at the hubs reducing rotational weight seems true
And I'm over 200 pounds, and they've been holding up well

"Finished" my first singlespeed/fixie flipflop yesterday. Here's two pictures I took during the first trip.
And the way I bought it:
Ambrosio rim in the back laced on an old but new track hub with a Shimano freewheel and a fixed cog. Fir SC350 rim up front around an older Dura Ace hub. Pretty much everything else has been modified in one way or another, or replaced.

Yeah its quite beefy but you get use to it...I opted to keep both brakes on due to such a big gear...but the more I ride it, the easier it is to slow/stop. I commuted on it as a 52t x16t ss last year and didnt wanna change out the chainring or go bigger on the back cog hence the 15t.
The best part is being able to leave all the lil hipsters riding 38t x 15t in my dust...might be hard to lay skids down but hammering up a hill is where I get my kicks

Thanks. They are FSA Wing Pro bars I got for $25 off ebay (compared to $60 elsewhere) The flat top section is nice when cruising
