Hi,

Can anyone give me advice on these wheels? I'm after a light responsive set to replace the Easton EA30s that came with my Cube. These seem to tick all the boxes and are just within my price range.

Is anyone aware of differences between 2013 and 2014 wheel sets? I have a offer online with a 10% discount that I'm keen on taking but it does not stipulate if they are 2013/2014 or if there is any difference.

    Think the only difference is an 11 speed hub on them

    Do you think the one offered through Chain Reactions is the 2014 model then given the reference to 11 speed compatible?

    The 9000 model takes both 10 and 11 speed cassettes. The previous model was the 7900 which couldn't work with more than 10 speed cassettes. PBK are offering the same price as CR with further 10% discount. Very decent wheels.

    I have both the 9000 and the 7900 C24. Riding wise there is absolutely no difference. I think they changed the spacing on the spokes for the 9000 to retain the same level of stiffness as they changed the dish slightly to accommodate the 11 speed. You can fit a spacer to use a 10 speed cassette on the 9000, so that gives you more flexibility than the 7900 which can only be used with 10 speed.
