Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Replacement wheelset...Campy or Mavic?

I want to replace the stock wheelset that came with my Specialized Roubaix. I am thinking about either the Mavic Kryrium Pro Sl, the Mavic Kryrium Elite or Campy Neutron Ultra. I ride about 80 miles a week, with many short (3/4 mile) but steep (6-11%) hills. I weight 210 lbs. I want something that can climb hills, feel safe in descents, accelerate nicely and still be comfortable. Any recommendations from riders who experience on these wheels.

Anybody know anything about REAL DESIGN tubular wheels? Im looking at a road bike to purchase with this wheel set on it. I know nothing about them. I'm a 200lb dude, so this likely isn't even an option for me.

I own both of these wheels and they are great for what you are looking for.

Easton ea90 SL 1490 grams and 19.5 internal width.

Fulcrum racing 3 1549 grams and you can find them on Wiggle or Merlin with tires for around 450
