Easton EA90SLX or EC90 WHEELS???

[Mish100]

I have a set of easton ea90slx wheels and was looking at the ec70 38mm wheels.

 

I am very not sure whether i should sell the ea90's for the ec70's?

EC70's are a lot heavier

 

How important is aero?

Really?

I think they about 300g heavier but I have to loose about 20kg anyways

Ask yourself the question - do you ride mainly in the front of the bunch, doing a lot of work and powering along the flats? Or do you sit at the back of the bunch and make the occasional break up a climb (more likely)?

 

If you're the former, get the aero wheels. If you're mainly in the middle of the bunch, the aero wheels mean very little as you're shielded anyway and the lighter EC90's will suit you a lot better.

Ok that makes me think because I am more social. The ea90slx that I have should be great enough.

 

I have a option to swop the ea90slx for the ec70 wheels but then id have to pay a R1000 extra.

Is it worth doing a swop and paying the difference?
