    Anyone ever heard of a wheel company called amp? Seen a pair of 50mm carbon amp wheels for what seems like a good deal. Front bearings need replacing by accounts and I'll be needing the free hub changed from shimano to campagnolo. Any had any experience with this manufacturer

    Never heard of them and chances are they’re a Chinese wheel so you may have difficulty getting a Campagnolo freehub for it.

    I remember Amp suspension MTB forks back in the early to mid 90s.

    Hers a link to a review of a pair of Amp wheels.

    Think I seen the pair for sale too, I’d stay away TBH, if you do buy a cam, cassette with work with shimano setup just fine

    Why would you stay away from them?

    Spokes pitted badly and the rear spokes where the chain dropped looked compromised, plus there’s prob a reason they are priced at what they’re price at, that is if we’re on about the same set

    + If they're 2nd hand, there probably won't be any warranty with them
