With some wheels you're forced to take their quality at face value. Carbon? Sure. Sapim spokes? We've seen that too. But we all know that your eyes are gravitating towards one variable -- weight. Sure it's important but it's not everything. When selecting carbon wheels we tend to place an emphasis on the quality of the carbon the precision of the production and the craftsmanship with which it was built. Basically we're describing the attributes of the Easton EC70 SL Wheel. It features one of Easton's finest carbon iterations it's hand built and it's acoustically tuned. So the end result is wheel with low weight high durability and a confident degree of handling. For the construction of the rim Easton incorporated both its EC70 carbon fiber and its EA90 aluminum. The former was used for the main body of the rim itself and reasons for this reveal themselves in a simple way. EC70 sits near the top of Easton's carbon food chain with every wheel starting its life as a sheet of pre-impregnated carbon laminate. As for the variant of carbon used Easton prefers the use of unidirectional carbon. Why uni-directional? Well compared to a woven carbon fabric unidirectional carbon is oriented as it sounds with one direction or on one axis. And while this makes the production process incredibly more complicated in regards to load path and force direction determination the benefits are worth it. You see compared to woven layups unidirectional fibers tend to better stiffen wheels while also improving the characteristic of vibration dampening. And incredibly this is achieved at a much lower overall weight. As for the shape of the EC70 SL Easton incorporated a 42mm rim depth with a 20mm external rim width. The depth alone provides an exceptional aerodynamic profile but this has been furthered by the rim width's clean interface with a standard 23mm tire. Additionally the wheel's spokes have been recessed into the rim creating a much cleaner drag profi...
