Fulcrum Vs Mavic Vs Easton Road Wheels

[Rocket-Boy]

Had many mates who have had random spokes snap on eastons, and they are not heavy guys.

Maybe its just bad initial builds at the factory but seems to be a common issue.

I had a set of Mavic Ksyrium Elites that I loved. Swore I would never ride any other brand.

Then I had to replace them and couldn't find a shop with Ksyrium's in stock at the time, so got a set of Fulcrum Racing 3's

These are my absolute favourites (I like them better than I liked the Ksyrium's)

 

Fulcrum all the way!

Easton EA90 SLX is a good all round wheel especially with the Echo hubs.

Easton EA90 SLX. They the 2015 model. I have 16000kms on them, only thing I ever did was replace the bearings on the rear wheel after crashing into a pothole. No spoke issues, no trueing issues. Really like these wheels

Was mostly the early Eastons that had spoke issues, and it was because of poor material that was used.  I still have my EA70s hanging around that Omnico refused to fix, which was the actual cause of me buying second-hand Campagnolo Eurus wheels on The Hub. I could break those spokes like spaghetti. It seems that the spoke got corroded on the inside, making them porous.

 

Still miffed at Omnico, which is why I refuse to buy their products as much as I can.

 

I do though have a set of Easton EA90XC wheels on my 26er MTB that never gave any problems.

Fulcrum/Campag all the way!!

 

Have got a pair of R7's for training and Eurus (12 years old) that I occasionally race on.

 

Both absolutely bullet proof.

Been down this decision road, ended up selling my eastons and buying a set of duraace c24s.

 

Loved the eastons but the shimano setup rocks. Shimano hubs are cheap and easy to service.
