Easton EA70 XC Wheelset

Product Description

Replacing their XC Two wheelset, Easton's EA70 XC Black 26" Disc Wheelset shares all the great details that made the older model a great wheelset, makes a few changes, and shaves about 150 grams off the total wheelset weight. It's light enough to feel racy on fast trails, yet it's wider at 24.5mm inside the rim. This width creates a fuller tire profile for increased stability and traction.The EA70 XC Disc Wheelset is based on Easton's straight pull aluminum hubs. They roll on sealed cartridge bearings for durability and ease of maintenance. The hubs direct the 24 straight-pull single gauge spokes towards the rim in a three-cross pattern. While this may add a few grams over straight laced or two-cross patterns, it adds strength and stiffness to the wheels so they perform without being flexy. Along with the rim, both the hubs and spokes are Black for a subdued racy look. The rim is designed for use with disc brakes only and has stainless-steel eyelets on the spoke holes for strength and durability. Mounting tires up to 2.4" should be no problem for this all 'round cross-country wheel.The Easton EA70 XC Black 26" Disc Wheelset uses the ISO standard 6-bolt brake rotor mount and it comes with two front hub options -- quick release or 15mm thru-axle. Both options include a quick release equipped rear wheel. They come with rim strips and quick release levers when applicable.
