Hi,
A subject thats been done many times before i'm sure.......Wheel Set Upgrade!

I've narrowed it down to two:
Mavic Ksyrium Elite or Shimano Dura Ace 7850 sl's or Dura Ace 7850 cl's

Any help on making the final decision would be a great help as I don't want to mess this purchase up :)

Thankyou in advance :)

    Got the Elites and can't fault them but no experience of the other 2

    Further to my last, my budget is approx £400 to £500 but would rather spend less :)

    I've also just read about some Shimano RS80..................So now I really have no idea....... :(

    P.S. At the moment i have Shimano RS10's so would i notice a huge difference as these are the wheels that came with the bike and aren't that good looking at reviews etc...

    Easy choice - either of the Dura Ace for me. I will be buying a pair myself in the not too distant future. My existing ones are excellent. They're strong, don't flex, stay true and freewheel like a dream. And, they are cup 'n' cone so they're easy to service.

    I've just brought a set of Easton EA70's, and I bloody love em, save 750g over the old wheels, and they spin up lovely, really changed the bike.

    No flex, even with my "ample" frame.
