smerds Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 hi guys, looking for some wheels for my "rooifiets" i have the option of easton EA70 or mavic elite (the black or silver ones) what should i go for and is there anything else to look at? please help lead the blind...
carlo_sg Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Contact carbon911, he has a set of EA70's for cheap.At this price range, The easton's are the better wheels
Speed Devil Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Go for Easton. If you have problems with Mavic you won't get any service from the agents.....And they have too many recalls
RaceChick Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I have EA70's and they are great. I don't know the mavic's though. You can't go wrong with the Easton's.RaceChick2009-01-15 06:02:09
Thomo Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 How do the prices compare.? If you took the advice re Crown Cycles then I know the deals on the Mavics.How much for the EA70's.? It does appear as if Mavic is slowly losing it's stranglehold on the market ...Thomo2009-01-15 06:08:16

Edge_Design Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 PM Merckx for the Easton's... he's in JHB, but still got an awesome price from him for my EA90's (no charge to get them to C.T.) and they come from the agents so no dodgy imports...
JPW# Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Mavic no question! Anything mavic ! mmmm Campag bearings do last just as long tho! 150 000 km, ive tested them both. Shimano....half the k's
smerds Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 thanks for the advice. i can get the eastons new for R4,2k but will roei en stoei to get it down even more. so the easton compare with the black mavics. do you get dodgy imports i better be careful then since its not from a shop but a private deal.smerds2009-01-16 02:16:23
Thomo Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I think it may be possible to get the eastons new/from a shop for about that as well.Seems the Elite's & EA70's are very similar (on paper) and will come down to personal preference.
riaanb Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 OK, so what's the best price I can get some new EA70s for and from whom?
smerds Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 can get them for about R4,5k from Avron in Saltriver
