Comments about Easton EA50 Aero Road Wheel - Rear:
Everything the other reviews say is correct. They ride nicely, are true out of the box, etc. I'll even add they look pretty nice on a bike. I'm on my second EA50. With the first, I broke the rear axle after on 800 miles. Now with the second I broke a spoke at 500 miles. Annoying. I realize these are low cost wheels, but so are my Fulcrum Racing 7s and nothing has broken on them after 4,000 miles.

Comments about Easton EA50 Aero Road Wheel - Rear:
These are without a doubt the best training/racing wheel set a triathlete can buy for under $500. Many models over $500 don't even come close. The only disadvantage is weight. They are not for sprinting or climbing, but they do spin up quickly and roll very nice. Perfect for races and strong to take on daily training.

Comments about Easton EA50 Aero Road Wheel - Rear:
I have about 4000 miles on these wheels all on public roads with no problems. They came out of the box true and ready to go.

Comments about Easton EA50 Aero Road Wheel - Rear:
I bought these wheels based on a recommendation from a REI sales person who owned a pair. He even showed them on his bike while at the store. I'm glad I followed his advice. They are light weight and provide great coasting.

Comments about Easton EA50 Aero Road Wheel - Rear:
These wheels came true out of the box. They're not the lightest wheels, but they're about a pound lighter than my stock Alex R500/Felt hub wheelset. It will be hard to find a better wheelset under $399.
The only drawback is that tires are hard to mount (like the previous ea50 wheels). Best thing to do is to buy a bead jack lever and turn that 30 minute mounting job into a 30 second one. Your thumbs will be happy!
Also, don't know why REI sells the front and rear separately when everyone else sells them as a wheelset.
