What do you think of the easton(velomax) vista wheelset?
Hello
What do you think of the easton(velomax) vista wheelset? I'm going to use them as training- and triathlonwheels.
Opinions? Other suggestions?

They are 200 euros.

They don't really tell you too much about them.
It's a 18/20 spoked (j-bend) wheel using 30mm rims.
Doesn't look that bad at all. It would be nice if they put some "aero/oval" spokes on their also (since that can have just as dramatic effect as lowering spoke counts)

Don't know about the Vista but I'm on Orion II's and I like them alot. Yhey're fast, stiff, and seem strong. The initial quality of the wheel seems great. Prices are usually pretty good too.

I have the Circuit and have been having an issue with the rear wheel. I emailed Easton/Velomax at 7:00am eastern time and got a phone call 4 hours later...and they are on the west coast. They asked me to send my wheel in and are going to rework it under warranty. Needless to say I am very happy with their customer service...wish I didn't have the issue but they are going to make it right at their cost so what more can I ask?
