How True are Easton Wheels?
Easton wheels are extremely true. We routinely see lateral and radial trueness to within 4/1000 of an inch. But initial trueness is not the most critical factor. In order for the wheels to remain true, even spoke tension is what really matters. That’s where we excel. We think it’s more important to sacrifice a few thousandths of an inch of initial trueness to maintain even spoke tension. That few thousandths of an inch may be visible to the experienced eye, however on the road it’s insignificant. Even spoke tension, on the other hand, is extremely significant, and that’s what is going to keep your wheel true.
