easton EA 90Xc 29er vs mavic Crossmax 29er

[wynandvdmerwe]

what would you buy?

[Let's Ride]

Eastons.

[koukie]

I have the Mavic wheels, service on them is very quick, easy and cheap. And I know they are very strong.

 

But jeez those eastons look super hot!!

[Kranswurm]

They look good on my boy's bike as well

[wynandvdmerwe]

I agree, the Eastons has the look, but reviews on them are very little

[wonduhboy]

whats the price difference?

[andretraut]

This is what they look like on a 29er.

[AfterDark]

Well my question would be: which is the strongest?

I have broken to many a 29er wheel over the last 4 years or so to worry about looks.

 

But I must agree, all things equal the Eastons are eyecandy.

And how durable are the hubs? Do they need regular servicing like the Mavics?

Damn those Eastons look hot on that bike.

Damn those Eastons look hot on that bike.

Gummi will they look nice on the black niner then as well?

Found the Easton's online on bicyclebuys.com - still waiting for a shipping cost, but they're $800...

Mavic rear hub needs a little looking after but so far the only wheelset I have not broken - they are strong. But then I am talking about 26 and not 29 inch. The Eastons look **** hot though.

[Morwa]

Eastons +2

 

Got my set of EA90Xc's about two weeks ago! WOW!

[gummibear]

Especially on a Black Liquorice niner
