JCA12 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Hi Hubbers I've been looking at the Wheel specials CWC is putting up and I am tempted. I've still got a 26er hardtail, so looking at the EA70 xc vs EA 90 xc. I'm concerned that, with 24 spokes, these wheels won't be strong enough for me (roughly 95 kg)? Any advice?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingalton Posted May 23, 2013 Share SOOOOOOPA strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M L Posted May 23, 2013 Share Go for the EA70's. Those are strong wheels and they are not that much heavier than the ea90's. Don't think the EA90's are worth twice as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M L Posted May 23, 2013 Share Both will carry any rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCA12 Posted May 23, 2013 Share so they will be fine for 100kg with kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
428 others Posted May 23, 2013 Share With the special, the EA90 is cheaper than the EA70XCT. I've got the 29" version, and they are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappa Bear Posted May 23, 2013 Share Before you buy an Easton wheelset ask them how much they charge to replace a spoke.......They charged me more than R1000.00 since they HAVE to replace all spokes, otherwise they don'y guarantee their work.

crasher Posted May 23, 2013 Share If you have the money rather get the 90's They are around 140 gms lighter for the set and they are ust ready which is a bonus if you running tubeless. Just chuck on the tyre with some stans and away you go. Like wheelerdealer said dont think u need to worry about the strength of these wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Epo Posted May 23, 2013 Share Ek het n paar fietswinkels gebel en raad gevra oor die Easton EA 90 xc.Volgens hulle het Easton nou n special op hulle wiele.Die enigste probleem met die wiele is blykbaar die speke,wat probleme gee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wipeout2 Posted May 23, 2013 Share I have the Easton Havens, seem fine so far. Just remember the vat and duties when you bring them in, dont get suprised like I did. Perhaps I should have just gone local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted May 23, 2013 Share butted spokes are actually stronger than plain gauge spokes......EA90 if you have the cash. Lucky Luke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
