Now I'm lookin' for a new wheelset, or at the very least a new front wheel. The 2008 Easton EA90 SLX is a light wheelset, but my experience has been subpar: flexy, never stayed true, two broken spokes on the front.
Sorry you had "ridus interruptus" -- that sucks.
OTOH, I'm
and
at your review of those Easton wheels. I just got a new pair (bent my rear Cane Creek Volos and can't get a new one; CC only makes track wheels now
). I rode them outdoors for the first time on Sunday. I found them stiff yet smoother riding than the Volos. I've heard conflicting reviews of the ceramic bearings and their need for frequent tweaking. I'm concerned about that.
Hope you get back on the road soon.
