Eastern Bikes 9'er Cassette Wheel

INFO:
The 9'er is something Eastern has been working on for a while now. It's a loose ball cassette wheel. You can feel the difference between a wheel using a cog and a driver. The driver is much stiffer. This wheel is a 9 tooth driver with either a single-walled black rim or a double-walled high-polished rim. Either way, you're getting something you can rely on. And to top all this off, we are also offering this as a combo with a 25T medusa sprocket and a 510HX chain. Heck yeah.

SPECS:
-48H loose ball hub with a CNC'd 9t driver
-14mm 4130 hardened axle
-Precision loose ball bearings
-Eastern nylon rubber coated rim strip

MSRP: $?
Featured color: black (single walled)
Other colors:

chrome
(double walled)

over tighten it a little bit and it will loosen up to be perfect with no wiggle room.

one of the heaviest wheels u can buy. yah its only about 70 bucks but you might as well save up 200 for a decent rear wheel. and 48h sucks get 36h!

I had this rims. in my own saying this rim is a waste of your money driver skips, hub gets lose and then you cant tighten it. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GET A DEMOLITION HUB. its worth all the money..

yeah ive been there with shitty unsealed hubs, suprising enough im using a wheel off a 2006 wethepeople addict.
its a sealed Salt cassette 48 hole with a alex G303 rim SINGLE WALL. i slammed my odyssey 11t driver in it and i 180 six sets daily. i true my wheels once a month and no problems so far. my opinion is that this wheel freakin blows dont buy it go for something that works.
