Easton EA90 SLX vs Williams system 19
Hi, I was wondering if anyone had experience with both of these wheels. I can get them both for approximately the same price ($500) and I'm currently riding fulcrum racing 7's. I weigh 130 lbs so weight is definitely not an issue. I was also thinking about the system 30's or maybe even soul or psimet wheels. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you are getting the SLX's from Performance, the reports are they are made with 08 parts including hubs. Still good wheelset, but not like the 2010 or 2011 sets.

I have Williams System 30s. With the coupon code they were like $500 delivered. I love them!!! Awesome hubs too. You can get the 19s with your weight. Wish I could.
Can't say enough good things about my Williams System 30s. Of course, I haven't tried anything else other than the crappy Shimano RS10s that came with my CAAD9.

I have a set of Williams System 30s, Williams System 50s (no longer advertised by Williams) and DT Swiss 1250s; all three wheel sets have great ceramic bearings. You would expect that from the 190 DT Swiss hubs. But, the Williams ceramic hubs roll very well. I plan to get a set of the Williams System 19 for my single speed bike. I don't think you would be disapointed with the Williams wheels or the service. You do know that they have a new carbon set of climbing wheels for just 999.00.
