The Easton EA90 SLX Wheelset has certified road tubeless rims, wider rim width, durable Echo hubs—and wrapped them all up into a lightweight, fiercely fast package. The EA90 SLX is Easton’s top-of-the-line aluminum wheelset. These are race wheels by all accounts, yet strong enough for daily duty and cyclocross trail riding. These wheels roll smooth and fast, thanks in part to the wide 17.5-millimeter (internal) rim. And with durable Echo hubs, EA90 SLX wheels are built to keep rolling smooth season after season. Don’t be fooled by all of the technology packed into these wheels—they are easily serviceable. They roll on standard bearings and standard double-butted straight pull spokes. The only proprietary pieces are the dual-threaded spoke nipples which are serviced just like standard nipples with no special tools necessary. The 25mm-deap rims are laced to durable Echo hubs with double-butted, straight pull spokes. They thread into dual-threaded nipples that are serviced just like standard nipples with no special tools necessary. For the front, 16 spokes are used and 20 are found at the rear durability where it's needed most. Easton Echo hubs roll on standard bearings and are easily serviced for long-term durability. These are race wheels by all accounts, yet they're strong enough for training and cyclocross racing alike. The EA90 SLX Clincher Wheel is available as a front or rear and uses standard road caliper brakes.
