The name play with Easton is kind of hilarious.

Hahaha it's like saying Easton after a dozen beers.

Not one I've ran across in my searches.

My experience this far with ace sprint has been exceptional. I'd highly recommend this far. Top notch communication.

Reviving this old thread. I'm thinking of picking up their lightweight 1200g 30mm depth wheelset for road climbing. Has anyone tried these wheels out?

Last month I bought lightweight climbing wheels from Easedon and it took slightly under a month from order to delivery to my front door. I ordered 21mm internal width, 28mm wide, 30mm depth wheels using the Goldix SL hubs in 12k glossy. Total wheel weight came in around 1100-1130g (I was using 2 luggage scales, but weights kept varying by 30g +/-), but almost 70-100g less than my 1200g target weight. The seller has a bunch of store coupons which you can stack with AliEx sales coupons which helped kept pricing reasonable.

I'll post some pictures and full ride rundown once I take them to climb!

I'm assuming these are rim brake wheels? Because I haven't seen any CL disc brake wheels under 12XXg.

These are CL disc wheels and yes they weighed under 1200g! I had to go with 30mm depth wheels and the Goldix SL hubs to get the low weight.

Ah, that makes sense. Even for 30s, that's really lightweight!

The review will have to wait a day or two. Of all the really stupid issues to arise, my rear thru axle bolt stripped when I was attempting to remove the current rear wheel on my bike. I'll need to extract the thru axle and order a replacement rear TA. I was really hoping to ride them today!

I tried posting photos earlier, but they didn't post. Anyways, here's the wheels. Sub 1200g wheelset (more like 1100-1130g). I opted for 12K glossy for no particular reason, but they do come in UD matte and 3K. I installed Onirii 160mm disc rotors, a Goldix 12 speed UL 11-34t cassette, TPU tubes and Panaracer Agilist Duros in 25c.  Just waiting on a new rear thru axle for my bike so I can ride them!

The wheels were sub-$500 USD, but the store runs coupon deals and during the sale, you can probably pick them up between $400-500 USD.

Finally got a replacement rear thru axle after having to hacksaw through the TA and hub end. Luckily I had a spare hub end cap laying around. Anyways, I have DT Swiss style TAs arriving soon, so I won't have to deal with that cr@p!

Finally got around to taking photos of the wheels. The bike feels significantly lighter. At 30mm depth, it makes the bike look a bit more old school. Also I'm not sure how much longer this TFSA (SL6 clone) frameset is going to last. It's been beat to hell and I've had to re-rivet the FD, hacksaw the thru axle, bondo the seat tube from road debris damage, etc. Though I figure I'll get lightweight wheels before upgrading to a newer frame. The ICAN Flyee or FL1 are now on my radar...

Definitely a nice retro look to it!

I took the bike out this weekend for some hill climbs and fast flats. My cruising speeds are about the same, but with hill climbing there's a one gear difference in climbing. I can stay one gear higher on steep sections, where I would normally go a gear lower. It doesn't sound like much, but we're experience 38°c/100°f plus temperatures right now in my area and my legs would normally feel more fatigued on these steep climbs in the heat. Also I feel like my downhill speeds are much faster. Maybe it's the fresh hubs, but I feel like I need to brake earlier especially since I'm htting 65km/40mi speeds much faster.

Anyways, for the price I'm quite happy with the wheelset. I'd definitely recommend Easedon if someone is looking for a lightweight, budget friendly wheelset.

1100~ grams is crazy light at that price. I might have to look into rim brake version of these if they make one. Should make for a nice ww build on budget.
