Easton EA90 SLX....opinions??

[Vivster]

Who has a set of these, the newer ones?

What is your experience and is it worth while for all round wheels?

 

Just read a few reviews on the net saying the spokes break easily and rear hub is very noisy?? please share.

I use mine for racing only -no problems so far.The rear hub might be noisy but i am use to a campy rear hub-still running true.

Just did my second Cycle Tour with mine, I'm 90+ kg's and not a single problem.

Got a pair in Jan, very happy! Fast rolling and stiff

I have a pair, for well over 2 years now , they are as true as the day i got them . i race and train on them and can highly recommend them.

 

Fantastic wheelset

Absolute rubbish wheels. Have had two sets and endless problems with broken spokes. Just had to walk home from my ride. Going to throw them in the bin. Wouldn't insult anyone by selling them. Yes i'm slightly peeved.....

Walk ? Spokes broken, have another muffin dude I thought you could run Kent ?

 

For the original poster....BTW I have a set and they are brilliant. You've just got to make sure that you adjust the rear hub +/- function correctly.

Clearly must be all the power i put out! Think i'll have to invest in a minimum 360 Watt FTP wheelset.

Donate them to me please, I will give them a try

Got mine last year, broke couple of spokes on the back wheel within a month and waited 6 weeks to get wheel back from Easton (or Easton importer in Cape Town). They replaced all the spokes on the wheel.

 

At Argus someone fell against my front wheel and the rim bent. Waited 2 weeks to get the wheel back. Replaced the rim.

 

Otherwise very happy with the wheels so far.

Any more updates from people using these?? Looking at getting a set but also worried about broken spokes and stiffness issues? Can these be used for everyday training?

[BMXER]

Ridden mine for 2 years full time. Broke one front spoke in my 8000 km ridden. I would recommend these wheels

I have a set ,use them everyday with regular short stints on dirt roads , no problems .

 

Fantastic wheels , they hubs are super smooth and I like the noise .
