If you are one to follow the crowd and have to have carbon this and that, the go for the Equinoxs If you want wheels that will does the job not matter what they look like, go Eastons. It will look more like you've "arrived" with the Equinoxs.

 

MuxMan, at this rate of interest shown, you still have alot of time to save up.

Just a little thing that I have noticed with my Equinoxs. When I spin the front wheel, have not tried the rear, in my hands, it always comes to a stand still with the valve hole at the top. The little bit that's been removed actually puts it off balance. That is how smooth they roll.

mampara, put them on your bike and see how they spin. I tried last night (rode them on saturday) and I swear that I could have probably spun the front wheel, gone to make a cup of coffee and come back and the wheel would have still been spinning.

If I hold the Ascents by the skewers, spin 'em and close my eye's I would swear that they're standing still... so they're also really smooth.

Saturday somebody rides up alongside me to admire the Tubbies on my bike - was not sure if I should tell him that the wheels were in fact full carbon clinchers. They look exactly like tubbies. Schweeet.
