Easton Mountain Wheels
We didn’t always make wheels, but once we started, we knew there were a few things that every Easton wheel would have to do: be durable, fill a specific purpose (like work great for the demands of trail riding), meet our stringent testing standards and stay true under conditions that reduce most wheels to something like a puddle.
In order to guarantee durability and incredible trueness, every wheel that you’ll see from Easton is 100% hand built and trued using our proprietary acoustic method. That’s right, our trained builders don’t judge a wheel as straight and round simply by watching it glide through a truing stand. No, they listen to the tone that each spoke makes when plucked. Even tones make for a wheel that’ll stay straight and round much longer than other methods.
Threaded Eyelet
Easton’s Threaded Eyelet system employs a unique threaded rim eyelet insert and nipples that are threaded both internally and externally. This does not require the rim bed to be pierced and makes our Threaded Eyelet rims UST™ compatible. The wheel uses standard straight-pull spokes and can be trued like any standard wheel.
