I fancy treating myself to some new wheels for my Spesh Tarmac Comp.

It currently has Aksium's, which I think weight around 2000g. I think to warrent replacing them I'd need to get something thats a pound lighter?

Thinking about Mavic Krysium Elites or Fulcrum race 3's. Any thoughts on these or any alternatives?

Has anyone else made a similar change and was it worth it? Is it that noticable?

I know they're a bit more expensive than £300, but I'm prepared to hang out for a bit of a sale or ebay bargain.

This is my 'good bike', which is used for sportives, club runs and I want to try a few crits and time trials this year. Need Shimano freehub. I weigh in at less than 12 stone.

Thanks.
