  • ^^^I've actually been giving them a second look. I initially didn't consider them because of bad experiences Easton. My first road wheels (Easton Aero supplied with my Van Nicholas- I think some OEM mashup of EA50 and 70) kept pulling out of the dropouts. Easton said it was an issue with their hub and gave me some EA70s. That solved that problem, but the rear felt flexy to me and would rub the rear brake under big efforts. Then I know a few people with higher end models that are constantly complaining about bearing adjustment.

    I thought it may be worth going back though since my only real personal experience has been with the cheaper wheels and that better ones may be...well, better.

    Love mine, but got 'em slightly used for < £200 which helps. Only adjusted the bearings once in approx 3k miles. Lovely and light too, whenever I take the front off it always amazes me how light it is. I'm not a powerful rider, but they've gone up Ventoux and plenty of alpine passes without a hint of brake rub or flex. Meant to be good on cobbles too.
