Hi
I need advice from you oracles out there.
I currently have a 2013 Boardman Team Carbon with Mavic Aksiums that came on it as standard. I've just purchased a 2014 Specialized Roubaix SL4 Sport Compact which has the DT Axis 2.0 wheels on as standard.
Which are better, the aksiums or DT Axis 2,0's?
Wanna put the best ones on the roubaix when it gets delivered (I'm a tad excited!)
Thank you for any constructive comments in advance

I thought they weren't allowed to call them DT Axis anymore? DT withdrew their license as the quality of the wheels was a bit meh and they didn't want the name ruined.
I'd go with the Askiums.0 -

If it's any consolation the Boardman has to go to help fund it plus Evans cycles nice 0% deal is assisting otherwise i wouldn't be getting one.Giant Propel Advanced Pro 1 Disc 2020

Ahh so you need to sell one set of wheels then with the boardman. I've no personal experience of either set but from what I read the Aksiums have the better rep so there's a dilemma for you - Aksiums are probably better but might sell better used even over new DT Axis cause everyone who knows bikes knows DTs are OEM on Spesh bikes. If you are selling on here it could matter on eBay maybe not.0
