Dear Forum

 

Is there another hub I can use with Easton EA90 XC 24 hole?

Why?

 

You can rebuild the wheel with any 24 hole hub.

Any suggestion on what hub to use?

Are you having hassles with the bearings??

If you are building anything bigger than a 24" wheel go for more spokes. A lot more.

Yes and they are very expensive. Are they that good?

[BaGearA]

buy bearing form fag < or bearing suply stores and get the knowledge to put them in yourself

 

 

They wear slightly faster than the bearings from easton,or ,or ,or but they are sometimes even 10 times cheaper

 

Also replacing your own bearings is a very satisfying feeling....at least for me

 

 

Start by knocking out all them bearings and take them along to the bering shop to get the correct ones and go form there, If you need help just ask on this forum

Easton sent out replacement bearings and a spacer to all M1 owners here in January after the issue was picked up.

 

Check with SA distributor if they will do the same??

No, I have not been contacted by my LBS for that free upgrade bearing set, and my wheels do have the M1-221 hubs at the back end the M1-213 hubs at the front.  Maybe the SA distributors for Easton don't care about their customers.

 

BTW, my front bearings are shot.  So, any normal sealed bearing will fit here?  They are not proprietary sizes?
