Easton EA90 SL Wheelset 2011
The Easton EA90 SL clincher wheelset takes some cues from the
EA70, but upgrades everything. Let's start at the center of things: The hubs. These hubs are a step up from the EA70s. You can see it in the smoother, smaller shape. Not surprisingly, these hubs, known as the R4 to Easton, are lighter. They have tool-free bearing preload adjustment on both wheels, the upgraded bearings have hybrid seals, and the axles are made from 7050 aluminum. The 7050 aluminum freehub body has been aggressively machined as well, making it 22g lighter than the C3 cassette body on the EA70. Even the pawl carrier has been redesigned to be wider, and it has a larger diameter to improve
its ability to resist flex under high-torque loads.
The 20mm wide Gen4 rims are an upgrade as well as they're now
welded at the joint for strength before the sidewall is
machined for smooth and powerful braking. The rims are also of
differing heights. The front rim is 21mm deep for lightness and
easy crosswind handling. The rear rim is 25mm deep for greater
stiffness and aerodynamics.
The Easton EA90 SL Clincher Wheelset is available in 700c.The
Sapim spokes are double-butted and straight-pull. The front
wheel is radially laced while the rear is radial on the non-
drive and cross-two on the drive. There are 24 front spokes and
28 rear. All of the spoke nipples are alloy, save for the
drive-side rear spokes which use brass nipples. The wheels come
with quick releases and rim strips. Easton wheels do not have
rider weight limits, and all are hand built to ensure proper
tension and trouble free riding.
