I haven't ridden the Fulcrums, but have a set of the Eastons (29") and so far they are rock solid and roll incredibly smoothly...

I have a friend riding on eastons and he thrashes them. They have held up rather well and I must say look far nicer than the fulcrums.

The backup on the Eastons is better. Local Fulcrum agents don't stack up to Omnico. That being said, I love my Fulcrum wheels. I'll jump for that 2400 special if I were you.

Cwcycles sell them for R2600 and in the classifieds there is a new set for R2200. Its a steal at that price!!!

A mate of mine bought some Red Metal 3's at Solomon's a few weeks back for R2399 as opposed to spending the money on a tjoopless conversion.
