Anyone have experience with these? The Easton have ceramic bearings vs. the Reynolds which have standard cartridge. When you're spending $1000 you want some piece of mind. Thanks in advance! Assume I can get them for the same price.

The Easton rear hub can a bit finicky...otherwise the rest is up to you. Both will work fine...and doubt that you will tell much of a difference in performance.
