Easton EA90 SL Wheel Set

Easton EA90 SL Wheel Set. Easton EA90 SL Wheel Set: Designed for the rider looking for lightweight yet durable wheels. 700C Clincher. The EA90 SL takes the best attributes of the EA90 SLX and adds a few more spokes (24f/28r compared to 18f/24r) to give increased lateral stiffness for the bigger, stronger rider. At 1530 grams, the EA90 SL is a formidable competitor that combines lightweight, enhanced lateral stiffness and bombproof durability in a hand-built wheel set.Easton wheels are meticulously tuned by skilled craftsmen to achieve uniform spoke tension. This simple procedure vastly strengthens the wheel and greatly reduces spoke failure. Further, it allows us to sufficiently tension the spokes so that the wheel has the compound attributes of light weight, stiffness, and durability. The spokes are only one aspect of the wheel that sets us apart. Every aspect of the wheel, from bearings to nipples, has been refined and improved. Wheel building is as much art as it is science. High, uniform spoke tension is necessary to build strong wheels that stay true. Nothing does this better than experienced human hands. It's a painstaking process. Easton's systematic approach to precision tensioning and truing sets the standard in the industry.
