Easton EA90 SLX Clincher Rear Wheel 4.5 5 4 4

Lightweight wheel EA90 SLXs are a sound set of wheels. I bought a replacement rear wheel as the original one's rim was almost worn out after a couple of years. The wheels have improved my climbing, but I need to ensure I save them to use on longer events/sportives as the improved performance comes at a price when you need to replace them! 19 June 2013

Just great wheels Bought these wheels as I am going to the Alps but used them for a 100 mile sportive at the weekend and found they roll great and the light weight makes a positive difference on any inclines. I have used Easton wheels before and if these prove to be as durable they will be a super buy, especially at the Wiggle discount price. 04 June 2013

Awesome After looking and asking many people I settled on these wheels. I live in a hilly area and these have become my favourites, had Dura Ace C24's prior, the Eastons are better. Just go ahead and buy them! 08 November 2012

So far so good! First of all hats off to Wiggle. The SLX's came properly packed in very good time. First impressions were positive. They looked good and rolled beautifully in the hand. On the bike the lightness is apparent. They spun up well. So far so good! If they turn out to be durable (and there's no reason to think they won't) this will be a great buy. 29 December 2011

Is the Easton EA90 SLX Clincher compatible with shimano 10spd?

The description of available hubs says Shimano/SRAM, 9/10spd. Does this mean Shimano 9 and SRAM 10 or is Shimano 10spd also compatible?

Also, another quick question re the rear hub. Does it run silently like the Shimano Dura-ACE WH7850 or does it make a clicking sound like some Mavics?

Cheers

R4-SL accepts 105 / ultegra cassettes?

Some say R4-SL only takes Dura ace cassette.

Answer:

i bought this wheel with a shimano freehub as it said it fits all shimano 10 speed, wrong it seems to only fit ultegra/dura ace.
I had to return and buy one with a shimano/sram hub 9/10 speed, this is what I needed for my 105's

Campagnolo 9 speed hub compatibilitiy

I'm trying to buy a new Rear wheel and 9 speed gear cassette to replace the existing (quite old) Campagnolo original wheel.

The cassette I need to mount is Campagnolo Veloce UltraDrive 9 Speed Cassette

I checked the easton website and this wheel comes with R4SL sealed hums.

They have a webpage also for hubs
http://www.eastoncycling.com/bike/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2011-Easton-Cassette-Body-Chart.pdf

NOW STRANGELY enough the R4 and R4SL campag 9/10/11 speed hubs look totally different to me!

Does campag have 2 different (and incompatible 9/10/11 speed hub designs!!)

So the main question is: will the Veloce 9 speed cassette mount onto this Easton EA90 SLX clincher rear wheel [campag hub]

Answer:

Okay, more updates! Based on the reply from Easton I received the EA90 SLX clincher rear wheel this evening from Wiggle. I also ordered from Wiggle another Campagnolo Veloce UltraDrive 9 Speed Cassette.

Guess what. It ONLY WORKS! I cassette DOES MOUNT to the R4SL freehub.

I'm going to document will full photographs, weights, and experience on majzel blogspot presently (of course). so that readers can see how to do this for themselves.

Very happy so far. Tomorrow. First test ride!

Answer:

Okay, at the same time as posting this question I sent t a detailed question to Easton with diagrams. I also found this excellent website

http://branfordbike.com/articles/cassettes-and-cogs-pg60.htm

to which in fact even Easton referred me to! The upshot is they claim that their NEW freehuub will take both the old and the new 9 speed cassette. They claimed that it is just that they have machined away the back faces of the spline to save weight. So I've ordered the wheel (from Wiggle) and we will see! Naturally I will update this article with definitive yes or no. Watch this space.

Answer:

Campagnolo have indeed changed their freehub spline pattern a number of times over the years and unfortunately the older style cassettes will not work with the newer designs.
