I am getting ready to buy a wheelset for my SS Niner One.
I am looking at the Reynolds and American Classic but can't decide. If you have an opinion, let me know or if I should look at another wheelset, please recommend.
Is that Reynolds wheel carbon or aluminum? UST or not? If you're going to run tubeless a wheel designed for it works better. I like the Stans rims for light tubeless.
Both our bikes I converted to tubeless and fresh they are fine, but once the sealant dries up they will go flat fast and putting in new sealant is a pain because unlike wheels designed for tubeless both beads break so after adding sealant it's like remounting the tire from scratch.
if you are going to run tubeless (highly recommended), you need to consider the StanNoTubes Rim. Get the 355 and build it w/ a Chris King Hub. W/ the Stans rims, all you need is the yellow tape and you are ready to run tubeless.

Here's a good discussion on 29er racing wheels:

By the way, I have the Niner One 9 and LOVE it.
I may be biased here...
