    oh, sorry, I thought this was the place to ask for advice, I have seen similar questions on here but not the same otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to ask.

    I think I'll get the fulcum 5s, thanks for the help anyway.

    Nice to know that help is available when you need it!!! Might have been more helpful if you pointed the poster in the right direction at least. :evil:

    Alternative is Pro-Lite Bracianno under £200 from Ribble - nice and light!

    It doesn't really bother me how many repeat threads we get. Whether it be tyres/lights/wheels or whatever. It's always nice to hear a fresh take on things.

    To the OP; I'd tend to favour the Mavics. The Fulcrums look like good value for money but I've heard a few stories about the freehub slipping or failing altogether.

    I nearly got the Mavics myself earlier in the year but another expense came along and used up the budget.
