Strengths: Rims are strong so eben with a couple of broken spokes they don't wobble too bad.Weaknesses: Spokes and/or assembly are totally defective.Bottom Line: Total junk. I bought a set of these to upgrade a bike I keep at my parents' house to ride on the holidays. Did my first couple of rides in April 2010, all was good. So the bike sits until Thanksgiving week and I get down here and go for a ride. 5 miles into the ride...PING,a rear drive side spoke snapped mid-span for no reason. Smooth flat road just noodling.
Took it to LBS who installed a new spoke. Next day I am 20 miles into a ride, PING, rear non drive spoke snapped at the nipple. Bent it out of the way and continued.. 10 miles later. PING, a spoke on the front wheel snapped near the nipple. Bent it out of the way and continued. 5 miles later, PING, another non-drive side apoke snapped at the nipple.
So in 1 week I have snapped an equal number of spokes as I have broken in 25 years of serious cycling.
I bought some spare spokes ot repair and try to get through the week and then will try to get Easton to replace... but I don't know if I can find my receipt. I never thought I'd have an issue with this wheelset.

Strengths: strong, fast, straight, true, bomb-proofWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: I'm 6' 1" 210 lbs. I've had these wheels for 4000 miles. I've had them up over 51mph (coming down Hogpen Gap). Recently I rode the rear wheel home 6 miles on a flat. I have put 150 miles on since that ill-advised trip and they still roll great. Never had to have them trued. All of that and I paid less than $300 for them.

Strengths: Light weight, reasonable price, similar to my American Classic Sprint 350's (I blew out the rear hub and am in the process of having it overhauled).Weaknesses: So far none.Bottom Line: So far so good. a light weight tire. I read some reviews that said the cassette ate into the hub. I thought the cassette fit tightly against the hub and hopefully this will avoid any damage to the wheel. I have ridden over 300 miles and so far so good.
