Wheelset choice

fenski

OK I've narrowed it down to:

Mavic Aksium @ £135 from Merlin. 1980gr a pair.
Pro-Lite Treviso @ £130 from Ribble. 1640gr a pair.
Fulcrum Racing 5 @ £170 from Ribble. 1760gr a pair

Can't decide which... I suppose at that sort of price the Treviso's might be worth a punt, although I have concerns about their durability, based on the fact their both light and cheap...

I know there's also the Planet X Model B's but I had a bad experience with some wheels I bought from Planet X before, so I'm not overly inclined to go back.

Any thoughts?

IIRC the Pro-lites use the same rim as the PlanetX Model Bs - they are very light and I'm sure there has been a few posts on here with people saying how good they were. Plenty of others have commented on the others generally with the Fulcrums being well rated. I can't talk from personal experience as I've never used any of them so sorry it won't be much help.
