Easton EA50 - 1735 grams straight gauge Sapim spokes , V-2 hubs , 20F(radial) & 24R(radial NDS - 2 cross DS) brass nipples 19mm x 30mm (profile) and retail for around $350. Easton says that these are best for all around road riding. Very nice set of wheels either way you go. The 70's are lighter and will climb better. The 50's may last longer because they are a little heavier (rims , nipples , spokes). Be cautious about the cheapest price (I saw $250 on the Internet and they where new --- but at least 1 year old - not current). I would buy locally and get better service later down the road.
