Been looking for some nice new wheels for my predator to replace the over-kill overly heavy ProII / MTX's and was wondering if Easton XC wheels Sets are QR only? I know the Havoc wheels / hubs are QR/20mm interchangeable but as far as i can see the XC1 / XC2hubs are QR only.

Can anyone clarify please?>

Cheers

Dont know about the rest, but the Havocs are QR and the front can be swapped out for a 20mm.
Nice wheels, but, and its a big but, my LBS has been waiting for a non drive side bearing for the rear for about 3 months now, out of stock apparently. And it only lasted for about 6 months before dying.
I think even easton rep admitted that they're not really sealed well enough for over here.
I'd avoid and go for something else (Hope)

All my other wheels are hope to be honest ive just seen some easton wheels going cheap and was very tempted as all the other easton stuff ive used has been good value for money.

they're good wheels, dont get me wrong. light enough and very well built, true after a fair bit of hard riding. very good quality overall.
but the sealing is a bit rubbish, and the spares support isnt there. either of which you could handle on its own, but both together means the wheel's been out of action for 3 months and i've had them less than a year.
