EastonEA50 Aero Wheelset(Return to Product Page)

I decided to upgrade to a stiffer Wheelset after having the Mavic on my bike fail me a few times. With my Mavic Wheelset, they would often become untrue and I always got lose spokes even after having my front wheel rebuilt. With the Mavic wheels, anytime I would stand and sprint or stand and climb I would feel the wheel flex. This would rob me of my power to the wheel. I heard about Easton and reviewed them for a while. This Wheelset weighs the same as the Mavic set I had. But right of the back I noticed that anytime I stand and sprint or climb, there's no flex in the wheel. So I feel very confident in feeling balanced while going all out and sprinting. Plus the look is pretty nice also. The flywheel is pretty quiet, the red center is a nice look, and they were true right out of the box. So, for the price and the weight, you can't go wrong!!!

I use these wheels on my cervelo P3 for training.

With Continental Gatorskin tires I don't have to think about my wheelstires anymore

Never flat - never have a problem unless its an inner tube stem

That's about as good as it gets with wheels

They're also a bit heavy - which I think is good for training

You feel so much faster and stronger with your race wheels on

I bought these wheels because I wanted a strong wheel. I read some reviews that were positive and some that werent. I still decided to give these a try and I couldnt be happier thus far. Im not a racer but Im a big guy (250) and wanted a strong wheel. Well I found out how strong they were when I hit an unknown object at almost 30 mph and the wheels didnt even flinch. I have really bad roads and paired these up with Schwalbe hs durano plus tires and this combo has made riding fun again!

Durable wheels. Fit well with Michelin Pro 4 tires service course and endurance.

For a newbie who wanted to upgrade his road wheels, they have been a dream.

I have been using these wheels for an entire Ironman training season and they never ceased to impress me. They ride and handle like a dream. The durability is superb, I am a 200 pound rider and push a pretty big gear and the response was always solid from them. They are a bit on the heavy side and this shows when spinning up , but for this price range these are meant to be a bullet-proof training rim, not a light set of race wheels. Even with hitting many potholes, and hitting one so hard it popped my tire, the rims have stayed true. At speed the wheels are very solid and have hit 50 mph and did not feel the least bit shaky on my Cervelo P3C.

The bad, (I still rated 55 since I am reviewing on the ride quality, performance, and durability)

However, fitting NEW tires on these rims is absolutely frustrating. I used Continental AttackForce tire combo and struggled to install the tires on the rims. I believe this is due to the tire falling too low into the lip of the wheel and then setting the other side of the bead is difficult since the depths of the beads are too different. I felt like I would break my tire levers trying to put these tires on. I also had difficulty installing a different set of Conti tires, so perhaps Michelin or Vittoria may have better tolerances for installation.

For the record, I am usually able to install tires by hand so it isn't a problem of me not knowing how to install tirestubes.

Great all purpose wheels. I just put these on my Ridley Icarus and they ride well and the graphics match perfectly! You can't go wrong on these wheels!

I purchased these wheels as a replacement for my older wheels. They are a bit lighter and durable enough to use as an everyday commuter wheel. They are economical and a decent buy for the money.

The wheels look great with my red frame. I've ridden on some rough pavement and have not had any issues with them staying true. They spin up way faster than my stock wheelset. I do think they are a little heavy, but they are lighter and much better quality over my stock alex wheels. Overall, great wheelset for the money and they look great.

I'm 6'1 260lbs the wheels are great & they can carry my weight, I love them...I would recommend to a friend.

Building a new road bike. Selected Easton wheels for their quality an reputation. Good to see team BMC using them on last year's Tour de France. Wheels look great on my new Pinarello frame. Nice that they come with the squeres.
