    Not sure if things have improved but mate of mine had to get spokes from the USA for these.

    Get some Superstars. At least when all the spokes break you’ll be able to get replacements easily.

    Same problematic hubs as the Havens. Avoid, unless you want to get intimate with CRC when you are forever sending them back under warranty.

    We’ve had a few Easton wheels in the shop recently (thanks to CRC cheap deals i guess?), all for the same problem related to the rear freewheels not engaging which i put down to poor freewheel seals letting in gunk n’ crud, if your willing to strip them down every few weeks and clean then go ahead and buy them but if you ride in british weather conditions then buy wheels built with hope hubs.

    Had a pair on my Zesty. Freehub issues from the beginning. Had two new freehubs under warranty. The second one seems to be of a much higher quality. Despite the fix, I don’t have much confidence in the build quality. Mavic Crossmax STs from now on.

    I had the same problem with my freehub. Yep, poor sealing led to corrosion of the pawls and springs.

    They are light though 🙂
