Using the Easton EA70 AX 650b rear wheel is straightforward. First, make sure the axle size (either 12x142mm or QRx135mm) matches your bike. Install a 11 - speed Shimano/SRAM cassette on the wheel. If you're using tubeless tires, add sealant before mounting. When riding, the wheel can handle various terrains, but avoid hitting large rocks or sharp objects directly. For maintenance, regularly check the spoke tension and make sure they're tight. Clean the wheel with a mild soap and water, and dry it thoroughly. Also, check the hub bearings periodically. If you notice any unusual noises or looseness, it might be time for a service.
