I have wheelset options, need your advice
Bringing home new bike. Currently has Mavic Ksyriums Elites. Trusted LBS will upgrade me to Rolf Prima Elans for small cost with trade in on the Mavics. Should I a) trade in mavics and upgrade to the Elans as my only wheelset for day to day and racing, or b) keep Mavics for day to day riding and put money saved towards purchase of a more specific "race day" set to use when racing? In other words, better to spend more and have 2 sets specific to needs, or can I save money in hopes the Elans will serve all purposes well enough?
