wapad Posted February 21, 2012 Share Just fitted my new wheels weight was 1824g which was a bit heavier than advertised some of the grams would be in the valves They are full UST wheels so it was tyres on stains in and bang goes the bead all seated no problem I'll do my first ride in Tokai in the morning and let fellow hubbers know how it goes These wheels have very neutral branding so will suit just about any bike Lata Edited February 21, 2012 by wapad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now the rear has a bit of washout but at least its predictable the wheels set is about 160 - 300 grams lighter than the std Giant wheels depending on the tyre choice overall very happy especially that its a full UST rim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge_Design Posted February 26, 2012 Share Glad to hear that you're happy with them! Busy having an Anthem 29er built with a set of them at the moment for myself, hopefully will be ready to test on Wednesday evening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will be very happy with them as I said I'm not light and have been hammering them what i also like is that they are so neutral and suit any bike I'm not sure where Easton get their weights though because this set was about 85 grams heavier than listed and I checked the EA90 and they were also well over listed weight at 1700g but they are the business enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
