Just after some different opinions on which wheels to go for, I'm looking at either SRAM S30 AL - Race, Mavic Ksyrium Elite or sticking with my Bontrager Race X Lites. Any opinions would be much appreciated.
Cheers

    i've got the s30al race

    summary of my experience, some from another thread...

    before choosing i looked at a lot of wheels, for a moderately aero clincher the aero/weight/price combination was the best i found by a long way

    they've stayed true in spite of time on some really rough roads, stiff, don't notice any flex when climbing out of the saddle, smooth running hubs

    bearings adjustable without tools

    nipples are recessed, the correct tool comes with the wheels

    light for climbing, aero for speed, stable at 75km/hr, watch out for sidewinds

    after a couple of months' riding, including two weeks of long rides in windy rainy cold lanzarote (not that i'm bitter about my holiday weather or anything), i'm still really happy with the s30al race
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny
