I am soon getting a new Cannondale CAAD 10 which comes with Shimano RS 10 wheels but my current bike has a pair of wheels which i got made six months ago they are Mavic Open Pro rims with Ultegra hubs and DT spokes.
So what i would like to know is should i swap the wheels over before i sell my current bike or keep the Shimano RS 10 on the Cannondale?

    i'd think the op/ultegra wheels might be better than rs10s, how heavy are they?

    rs10s quoted weight is c. 1850g, pretty hefty, wheelset sells new for under 100 quid
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    I dont know the weight of the Mavic wheels but for less than £100 quid i cant imagine the Shimano RS10 wheels would last very long as i dont weigh no where near a pro cyclist. :P :P

    The OP on Ultegra are infenitely better wheels, in all respects... th RS10 are good for the bin or to scare birds in the garden
