Guys, i'm looking at upgrading my current wheelset and I have narrowed it down to 4 options.

Pro Lite Bracciano-S
Mavic Ksyrium Elite
Fulcrum Racing 3
Mavic Cosmic Carbone Sl.

I would compete in the odd race not many. Most of my riding is club cycles and sportives. I'm looking for a wheel that rolls fast but is strong and reliable.

The Carbones look the biz, but i'm concerned they are not a 12 month wheelset. Also how do they perform in windy conditions, that would be by main concern, are they less stable than the others in our climate ? Appreciate your feedback and opinions. Cheers

    What do you have at the moment?

    If starting racing, I'd definitely use what you have until it breaks.

    I've raced on Zipps yet had my best results on cheap box section rims...

    I'm using the stock wheels on a 2009 felt ar4, they have served me well but coming to the end.

    Any opinions on the above wheel sets guys ?
