They are very popular around here with some of the better racers. Probably part of the reason for the popularity is that we are fairly local to the factory. I have been running on and racing Zipp 404s, but the price of them is ridiculously high now compared to the Zipps, and the best wrench in this area tells me that the hubs on the AC wheels are superior. I just ordered a set of AC Carbon 58s with ceramic bearings and Sapim spokes, and still paid way under the price for the Zipps. An ex pro with whom I trade recently bought the wheelset with standard SS bearings, and he is in love with the AC wheelset. He sold is Zipp 404 wheelset.
