09 Azonic Outlaws

bang for the buck is pretty good, just heavy
Old outlaws looked pretty good too, and were $80 cheaper. What other changes are there, besides the color?
Old ones were lighter too.
Heavy? They are lighter than Dee Maxxes.
Their website has to be wrong on the weight of the front wheel. There is no way.
The weights are the same as last year according to another site.

I'll be getting a pair for training/ bike park wheels within the next couple of weeks. I'll throw a post up telling the differences. I wish they made them in 32's....
as a wheel builder I am saying you can get better weight and deals with longevity by building your own.
Like what in that price range?
According to my calculations this wheelset weighs around 1800-1900 grams?
I dont think that is right, but it would be dope!

did you include spokes and nipples?
i'm liking that gold... been looking for gold wheels for a while without it being too heavy or stupid expensive... lols
you can build a wheel set for the same price out of the QBP catalog (retail) alone that will last twice as long as a machine built wheel, i promise, scouts honor
I think a lot of 09 prices in general will be higher in general due to increased materials cost/gas prices/ etc. As an example, the 2009 hybrid bikes at the shop I work PT at have jumped at least $80.00 in cost.
Machine built nonsense hate.
Get a pair of outlaws (or w/e) retensioned after the first few rides by a qualified wheel builder, and you have the same thing.
Complete load of crap.
Fill us in...
Rims?
Hubs?
Spokes?
Nips?
Then the cost of someone to build them.
Its not going to happen.
Werd, ran a set on the Stinky for 3.5 years without the need of one trueing. Worked for me, but I'm not a racer boi.
great value for sure. good for practice wheels. other than weight I'd use them for race wheels too. just have to re-tension them after the first few rides. seems like they sponsor everyone and anyone so you can get them really cheap !!
Best value wheelsets out there. 1157g (F) and 1329 (R) per Sick Lines (2008 model). My brother was killing me coasting down on a street. We were riding pretty much the same bike, except the wheelset. I thought my DT Swiss 240s hubs would be faster, but no way. Really surprised me.
The only thing I don't like them is the spacers on the front wheel. It feels kind of flimsy. Azonic should have designed it so it screws or pushes into place instead of just hanging between the hub and fork.

Well, slap my ass and call me Sally, I am sold.
How can you possibly argue with the advanced science of that test?
Sign me up for a pair!!!
Dude, this was at Mammoth, and at the end of the run you need to coast down on regular street for about 2-3 minutes to get to the shuttle. It is steep, doesn't require braking, and certainly a good test as to which hubs are faster, given all else being equal.
how much do you weigh? your brother?
oh boy...science time!
We weigh about the same. 190-95lb with gear. We had the same bike, same fork, same tires, same shock. His Azonics were brand new. My DT hubs were about a year old, but recently serviced.

That happened to me one time and I was like, my hub rules!!
Then I remembered that I actually slept in a Holiday Inn last night.
Color me disappointed.

We did sleep at Holiday Inn at Mammoth. So that must have been it.
I'm thinkin' tire pressure should be considered somewhere on yer list there. But hey, don't let me disturb the science! Bonk. I shoulda had a V8.
I ended up getting 823's laced with dt swiss revolution spokes to red hope pro 2 hubs.
How is 2486g lighter than 2160g?
$300 is cool for a wheelset and all, but light they are not.
Old Dee Maxxes. The 09s were not out when I made that comment. There were a few threads about it last year.
here is one thread
