Easton Havoc Stem

So good I never ride without it (Product Review)

The Good

Stiff, precise, light, great interface with any bars, never creaks or loosens, quality hardware, top notch anodizing, stack height is perfect for trailbikes and enduro steeds, lengths options make sense, So wickedly good looking it's almost a piece of art.

The Bad

I'd like a few other color options like blue and polished

Overall Review
You cannot go wrong with this stem - I own four on different bikes and it rules.

Easton Haven Stem

Easton Haven 35 stem (55mm) (Product Review)

The Good

Strong, light, and one hell of a looker!

The Bad

It's hard to find in stores or online.

Overall Review
It's my favorite stem of all time because of its light weight, strength, high-quality workmanship, and cool-looking graphics. I don't know the exact weight, but I cannot imagine anything lighter and/or stronger. I love the high-quality look of the Haven. The mill marks and shiny--yet-understated finish screams quality and workmanship. Regarding the graphics... I have two Haven 55 stems of different vintage. Both look identical with the exception of the color of the graphics. The older of the two has white and beige "Easton Haven" graphics, while the newer one is in black. I prefer the one in...

original Arc 27 Set 15 NoShadow
Easton Arc 27.5" Rim

Made of very soft Alloy, Not appropriate for hard trail riding (Product Review)

The Good

-Available in multiple widths -Relatively affordable -Light Weight -stickers are customisable or removable for stealth look. -Consistent ERD across different width rims -I have gotten really good at rebuilding wheels -I have been able to test rims in multiples internal widths and settle on a...

The Bad

-Poor strength -Really susceptible to denting & Flat spots -Don't always mount well tubeless -expensive when you factor in how often they need to be replaced

Overall Review
I have owned 7 of these rims in less than 12 months. Generally you'd think a repeat purchase of this volume would be a good sign; but as I only have 2 bikes I strongly consider this a negative. I originally bought a 27.5" arc rim with a 30mm internal width to replace a velocity blunt 35 that I broke. At 6'4'' and 96kg, Admittedly I dent the occasional rim and have always been tough on rear wheels. Since I started running these rims my rate of rear wheel consumption has really gotten ridiculous. The first rim I bought was in stock at my local shop so I bought it out of convenience. With a 30mm...

original Heist Product Shot.jpg?VersionId=VaYx63
Easton Heist 27.5" Wheelset

Good wheelset at a stellar price (Product Review)

The Good

Tubeless out of the box, wide rims, reliable hub, good rim

The Bad

Spoke tension

Overall Review
I've had these in the 27 and 30 width and overall they're a good wheelset, especially for the price you can find them online now. The hub engagement is somewhat slow but who care's unless you're on the cusp of winning races. The rims are pretty strong. I've dented all of my rear rims but they're easy to bend back and surprising hold air well even with dents. It's worth noting that these wheels come taped with tubeless values so set up is super easy. The biggest issue i've had is with spoke tension. I check them often then all of the sudden lose a spoke, the good news though is that they come...
