Hello fast.

The Easton EC90 SL 38mm Wheels don’t need to brag when their performance does all the talking. After all, Easton outfits Cadel Evans’ machine—and the 2010 World Champ doesn’t settle for a set of sub-par hoops. The EC90 SL’s feature a new and improved Thermatec braking surface that has been tested to withstand heat up to 500 degrees F—meaning you’ll blow a tire long before you melt through the rim. The SL’s 38mm carbon hoops are laced to Easton’s R4SL ceramic bearing hubs via Sapim bladed stainless steel spokes—making the SL’s as durable and strong as your favorite aluminum clinchers, only in carbon.

  • Easton R4SL hubs feature ceramic cartridge bearings that spin so smooth you may check for batteries
  • Sapim bladed spokes provide an aerodynamic edge over the competition
  • 38mm deep carbon rims provide exceptional aerodynamics without fear of getting blown off the side of the mountain during your 55mph canyon descent
  • Handbuilt in the United States by people who know cycling

As a 70kg rider I was very disappointed that 2 front and 1 rear wheels failed because of heat build up on the braking surface. Heat build-up and failure pushes the plastic through the carbon fibre weave, which then causes a very unpleasant grabbing and uneven braking. The braking surface even forms a concave groove around the entire wheel. In addition, the rear hub had a known problem, was replaced and then ultimately failed. Both failures are in the 'dangerous' category. I'm now very happily riding on Zipp 303 Carbon Firecrests.

I have been extremely disappointed with the Easton EC90 SL clincher wheels set, while riding a tour in Oregon in August 0f 2012, the front wheel breaking surface built up heat very quickly making brake extremely dangerous., consequently deforming the rim which opened and exposed the fiber . Both wheels front and rear were totally in servable. To be able to continue in the tour both wheels were replaced
I do not recommend these wheels especially when cycling in mountainous terrain with continuous slopes simply they are not safe, rather dangerous. Contrary to what Easton claim the breaking surface do not withstand heat or continues up and down slope riding. I weight about 185 pounds and a 100 psi was maintained in this wheels which were new at the time.

In the description, you state "Handbuilt in the United States by people who know cycling" but you show a picture of a tag that says "Made in Mexico". When did Mexico gain statehood?

Hi- I have been riding Zipp 404s. I wanted to try your Easton EC90 SL Wheel - Clincher
When I asked a bike shop about them they said they are having problems with the spokes and hubs. Any feed back on your side? Thanks, Doug

I would ask your lbs to be more specific. I haven't heard any problems and lots of guy around here run Easton carbon. I don't have this exact wheelset but do own a set of Easton wheel with the same R4 hubs that are found on every top of the line easton wheel. They have been absolutely flawless over thousands of miles. Some people who lbs don't explain to them or don't read the manual have a problem because the bearing pre-load is set manually and after a few hundred miles or several times on and off you may have to re-set the bearing load. You know because the hub may make a ticking sound, this takes all but 3 seconds to adjust. If you research it the manual bearing pre-load set is great to have especially if you want to dial out the drag.

The spokes used are a sapim. The model I have the sapim c-xram bladed spoke and to be honest me and my brother have both broken spokes. I don't know if is the spoke tension or what but they were rather random spoke breakages.

I've had a pair for a year. Broke a spoke in the rear wheel after 6 months. Easton rebuilt under warranty. Broke a front spoke a month ago (1 year old). Took a lot longer to get resolved. Just got a new wheel back with the 'made in Mexico tag'. Guess the've joined the outsourcing for more profit crowd too. Very sad. Guess I'm going to be checking Mad Fiber out.

I run HED wheels with Sapim bladed spokes and they have been a real problem. Broke spokes 4 times on the drive side. HED was grest is fixing and finally replacing the wheel but they said a bad batch of Sapim spokes has been a problem for them. Could be the same here.

Do you supply to Vancouver, Canada?

Hey Ian,

Unfortunately we cannot ship Easton out of the US. Here is the full list of brands that cannot go out of the country:
