Upgrade Harry Rowland Wheels

bmxboy10

I have a set of Harry Rowland wheels, Ambrosio Excellight, Ultegra hubs and DB SS Spokes. The wheels are 32/32 spokes and not that light. They work fine and roll pretty nice and so far I have been pleased with them. Have the chance to get some ksyrium elites and prefer the look of the mavics. The mavics get great reviews and I realise they won't be hugely different to ride. Questions is will they be better or worse and what would the hand builds be worth second hand? They are in vgc

I would stick with the Rowlands wheels. In my view the Mavic rims are no where near the Ambrosio's for rideability. The Mavics do get good reviews as you say, and a lot of users swear by them but to me they lack responsiveness and the ride is harsh.

Your wheels tick more boxes than the Elites. There are better ways to part from 400 pounds
