Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy a new wheelset to change the stock option on a new bike. I was looking at either the easton EA90XC or the AM Classic MTB 29 Both wheels weights pretty much the same so that doesn't set any wheel set apart. I think the Easton do cost a little more though.
I'm will mainly use these for light trail riding and XC/marathon. Which wheels in your opinion will be more durable and the stiffest out of these two ?
I will also welcome any other suggestion, as long as the weight is not too much over 1600g since I'm trying to reduce weight on the bike (I'm also a very light rider so I will notice more than other at 150lb).
Thanks all for your comments!

Here's the link for the specs:
Am Classic : http://www.amclassic.com/en/products/mt ... 9-tubeless
As for the price, they're about 449£
Easton :http://www.eastoncycling.com/en-ca/dirt/wheels/xc/ea90-xc-29
Price is about 900£0 -
Don't see the point in paying twice as much for no gains - and the easton hubs are not all that hot either.0
