In the real world would i notice the difference between these wheels? I want some cheap wheels to use day to day and a bit lighter than the dura ace 50s i have on at the moment. Although I think they are around the same weight as the Rs80 C24. I want a spare pair of wheels anyway, out of the two ignoring all sales gumpf would i really notice the difference? They will be mainly for climbing here in mallorca (im fat heavy and slow going up) Would it matter or should I be looking at the mavics in people experience? around 100kg mark so want somethign pretty strong. I do not want to go down the handbuilt route as I just want to tick a box online and order for delivery if you get me.

thanks for any help and input. cheers

    I know it's not on your list but what about Mavic elites?? Light strong and stiff and are so strong they are built like a brickshoot house!!!

    Out of the Dura Ace C24 (which I've owned) and the RS80s, I'd go for Mavic Ksyrium Elites.
