which wheels? - mavic aksium, shimano rs 30 or easton 50?

redvision

looking for a new set of wheels for the summer bike on a budget of around £200.
wondering which of the above would be best? (will be using mainly for training, sportives and possibly the occasional race).

I have been looking to do the same with a similar budget. Have been put onto these by looking on BikeRadar and only £170. Seem to get very good reviews.

How much do you weigh?

The braccianos can be had for around that much IIRC and are stonkingly light and relatively stiff if you're on the small side...

I bought a pair of prolites just after Xmas for £180 on offer on triandrun and intendednto keep them as my best wheels when I swapped from shimano to campag on my scott bike. I was then going to sell my old shimano wheels and buy a set of aksiums . Having seen those kinetics I'm tempted to give them a punt.

pro-lite bracciano - surely best wheelset at around £200?

I was after some Braccianos but struggled to find any online in my price range (Ribble have been out of stock for a while). In the end I went for some Ksyrium Equippe 2011's (Merlin Cycles for £220).

Haven't had chance to ride them yet went as went & got muddy on the Stumpy instread! 8)
