Hi,

Are these any good ? compared to my IOU 333's. I was going to upgrade to some Ksyrium SL's but not sure if I can justify spending £500 on wheels on a £1200 bike :?

Simon.

    I have heard, and indeed read, that the RS20s are infinitely better wheels, Ribble have them here:

    or black ones on online shop for a tenner less via ebay:

    The RS10s didn't get a great review in Cycling Plus, but the RS20s did and I've noticed a big difference over the Shimano WH560s I had before. The RS20s seem to have better bearings and are more forgiving over rough roads. Best of all I don't get pinging noises from the spokes every time I get out of the saddle.

    I don't think there is a better wheel for the money, especially with some of the discounts available online.
