Looking at replacing my current set of Mavic Ksyrium Elites with either the same or similar type wheel set. There's over 20000km on my current set of elites and the rear wheel braking surface is worn and needs replacing soon. There a 2012 set and have been bomb proof since.
Looking at replacing with similar price and weight wheel set, Any suggestion would be appreciated?

    The Kysriums have just been redesigned with a wider profile so it might be worth going like for like (whilst ensuring that you get the latest model). Other options would be RS81/DA C24 but they are beginning to look old hat now even though they have cup/cone bearings for easy maintenance.

    The Zondas would indeed be a good VFM replacement option as they are light, stiff and bloody cheap (but they are narrow rim and a fairly harsh ride, IMO).

    Thanks for the response,
    The Zondas look a good buy (Price & weight)
    Called into my local bike shop and they had an almost new rear Kysrium elite for sale at the right price, so got sorted, thanks.
