Need some info on Easton EA 50 wheelset.
I had ordered a set of Vista SL's from BeyondBikes.com, 3weeks later they send e-mail saying no more are available, they have been replaced by the EA 50SL wheels., which are not yet available(2-3wks). For now i have pre-orderes these wheels, cost is $250 U.S.--Good deal?
I cannot find any info on these wheels including Eastons website. I quess they are new for 2008. What I am looking for is the weight of these wheels, (Campy) and If anyone by chance has any info on these wheels, please share.
Thanks.

According to this--
https://forum.slowtwitch.com/Slowtwit...eels_P1508501/
They are just the renamed version of the Vista SL. (?)
Hope that helps.

^ If that's the case, I hope $250 was the price of the Vistas originally ordered.

The Vista SL's were discounted to $199, original price before closeout was $299--- BeyondBikes and a another on-line source has the the EA50sl's at $349.00. I was given a "discount" making my order price at $250 for the EA50sl's. I hope something on the wheelset has inproved over the Vista SL's to justify the price increase for 2008.
