Giant SLR aero V's Kysrium r-sys SLR?

I do mainly sportives, mixture of climbing and flats, can get a good price for the Giant's, what you reckon? THis Mavic model over priced? Cheers

Neither very blingy for Sportives.

If you can steer clear of carbon and zicral spokes, you will save yourself a lot of money, not just in the immediate, but also in the future.
I really don't see why you need to spend all that money to save 200 grams over a set of Ksyrium Elite, which will do just the same job for longer at a fraction of the cost.

For lighter, have a look at Wheelsmith's race 23 wheels, again a fraction of the cost. Personally I don't like the hubs he uses, but you can have different/better ones, for more money

Or read my blog for ideas

They are very different wheels with different performance aims - it looks like you are comparing apples and pears and asking which is best. If it's not clear to you I'd have a think about what you want (light/aero/stiff/appearance/bling/hardwearing/resale value etc etc) then draw up a shortlist.

And then buy the Mavics like everyone else seems to do :roll:
