Im off to look at another bike this evening, its from eBay but has good potential, however I just need to confirm the following ?

What is the stronger wheel set ?

Mavic Sport or Omega Mach 1 ?

I have Mavic open sport on my Ribble and the new bike has Omega Mach 1's will they be as strong as the Mavic sports I currently have ?

Thanks

    The strength of the wheel build is generally dependant upon the skill of the builder rather than the name on the components - you can make a really flimsy, unreliably pair of expensive wheels or a very strong cheap wheel. Omega aren't a name I'm familiar with - make sure that they don't use any proprietary spokes or horrible, nasty Quando hubs.
