The Easton EA70 SL Clincher Road Bike Wheelset is a brand new wheelset that will have you marvel at the ride quality. Easton developed an extra wide (17.5-millimeter internal rim width) welded alloy rim specifically for the EA70 SL. The wider shape changes the tire's profile and greatly enhances the ride quality. Not to mention, an improved tire profile means a better contact patch for really leaning into corners! The EA70 SL rolls on Easton's brand new V5 hubset and standard, J-bend spokes (20 front and 24 rear). This wheelset is built to withstand years of abuse. And if the EA70 SL ever needs service, you can rest easy knowing that every single component is replaceable-from the standard sealed cartridge bearings to the standard J-bend spokes and nipples.
