    Aksium's are easier/cheaper to service according to my lbs, other than that they're probably about the same. There's also the Fulcrum 7's in the same price range.

    Get whichever you think is more bling :wink:

    i had the same question earlier in the year - I bought the shimano - althought I actually bought the R561's:
    see here at wiggle:

    I paid about £130 for them - they are £112ish now. I think the replaced the 560's this year - then there is the 5600's which are a step up again, but are 10speed only.

    I've been very hapy with them - they arrived true as can be and have stayed that way. They are reasonably light for the money and they look good (I have the silver ones)
