Hi All!

Which wheels do I race cross on this year?
* Ksyrium SL - 2 years of crits on these wheels. Rear hub starting to drag a bit. Strong and light.
* Race X Lite - brand new condition, no miles. Are they strong enough?

I am #165 experienced MTB rider/racer starting my first cross season after 3 years of crits.

Both wheels are 2006 models. The wheels I do not race on go on eBay. Big decision.

Have a great weekend in the dirt!

go for whats cheaper
unfortunately if you are getting the bontrager's used you wont get the advantage of the warranty so that can be nixed from the "pro" catagory
:edit:
i just read your post better haha, the rxl wheels will be fine, they are on the xo2 so i would run em

I ran Race-X-Lites last year and they were flawless. They held up well to my 185#.
