No problems with getting the tyres on, though yet to take them off.
And they do come with QR skewers. What you do need though is some rim tape.
Here's the Cycling + review
Like all other Easton wheels, these are hand-built and it shows; the spoke tension was good when we got them and it didn’t alter a bit.
The V-section rims are 31mm deep, but despite that extra material the overall weight is still low here (753g front, 931g rear), resulting in super-quick acceleration.
The hubs come with sealed cartridge bearings that are well shielded from the weather, while the high flanges add stiffness.
You get 20 Sapim double-butted spokes up front and 24 at the rear; the front ones and rear non-driveside ones are radially raced, the driveside ones at the back are threaded two-cross.
We really gave these wheels a thrashing on the nastiest road surfaces we know, but they were as impressively round and true when we’d finished testing them as when we started – a testament to Easton’s high build standards and quality control.
With wear-indicator grooves in the rims and good durability, they’re great all-round road wheels.

ChrisKH said:These look very nice. Had any problems fitting tyres? I read somewhere they were a problem with some tyres.
I presume the wheels come without skewers as well?
