Which wheels should I keep?

On what is now to be my winter bike/commuter?

I just bought a used Condor Fratello that came with a pair of Easton EA50s, which I read are a pretty good all round wheel, yet an absolute biatch to fit tyres to. I also have a set of Mavic Open Pros on Campag hubs on a bike I intend to sell soon, but I am not sure which set I should hang on to. This is where you experts step in to help...

Cheers!

    Open Pros
    FCN 2-4.

    can't confess to knowing either but seeing how open pros are the more hand built option and therefore more amenable to spares (?) I'd go for them . . .

    EA50 Aero Road or SL?

    @Jonny-pm me if you decide to sell the eastons, as i may make you an offer if the price is right and they're in good nick...

    i'd say keep the open pros as a commuter wheel too, promise i'm not biased!

    Thanks guys, I was thinking in terms of the Mavics too.

    I'll have to stick the Easton's on the bike the Open Pros are coming off in order to sell it I'm afraid TB.
