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

Mavic Helium replacements

I have been riding Mavic Helium wheels (700c) on my LiteSpeed Tuscany Ti since the turn of the century. They are starting to show signs of needing replacement. The wheels weigh a little less than 1800 g w/skewers and I don't want to go over that weight. Also would like to stay under $500 but that is not a hard number. Trouble free and durability are important. What do you suggest I check out?

It shows only Shimano/SRAM, but you should be able to swap out the freewheel.
