Strengths:    Strength - both in terms of flex while riding and durability - these wheels just seem to stay true.
Bang for buck there is not a better wheelset out there


Weaknesses:    None so far...

Bottom Line:   
Just a great wheelset! Smooth, surprisingly tough and VERY quiet. I've got the Velomax set that had black Easton stickers - which I took off... These wheels were an altrernative set to some Cane Creek Aeroheads - both bread and butter wheelset - but the Easton set is noticeably stiffer. they also seem to stay true through surprisingly rough roads.

Strengths:    Light, stiff and smooth rolling for the price. Quite freewheeling.

Weaknesses:    Spokes have broken in the first year, and not covered by warranty.

Bottom Line:   
I got these with my Cervelo R3 about a year and half ago. I have really enjoyed riding them, that is, when the spokes haven't been broken.

They are pretty light for the price, and feel pretty stiff during hard efforts and out of the saddle. And the hubs do feel like they roll really well. They feel really smooth and I love that they freewheel quietly.

However, a spoke has broken on each wheel within the first year, and not while riding. Once immediately after a ride, and once just at home several weeks after the latest ride (I was injured). And though they have otherwise always stayed true, even after some bad roads and hard bumps, the thought of getting stranded with a broken spoke is now in the back of my mind when I ride on these wheels.

In theory they are a great training wheel. It's a shame the spokes break so easily. And neither the Cervelo shop from which they were bought, nor the local Easton distributor, would accept that the issue is covered by the warranty.

Strengths:    Rolls like nothing you've seen before.

Bottom Line:   
These wheels rolls like nothing else I've ridden. I'm sure they'll just keep on rolling even after you've stepped off your bike.

Great training wheels. For that kind of money they're a no-brainer.

Bottom Line:   
EASTON EC 90SL Clincher: BUY THIS WHEEL! I Use Mavic Keriums for everyday and they are great but nothing to this wheel. Had the EC90 Aero but I did not like the sew ups. The Clincher does give it all to you. Light, Very , very smooth and will take anything. The best Wheel on the market! Forget the PR and AD hype this is the wheel.
