What wheel set do you think is better for triathlon... American Classic 420 or Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL3? They both weigh about the same. The 420's are areo, but the SL3's are a great all around set. I can only keep one. What would you do?

AC 420s for sure. The Mavic Ksyriums are about the LEAST aero wheels on the market.

Agreed, the AC 420s are the way to go. Bomb proof for training and Aero to boot!
