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 Ksyrium

Last summer was my first time riding.

I crashed my bike and my rear wheel is not salvageable.
I am riding the ksyrium elite and I didn't realize how high end they are, yet i love the way they rode.
Is there anythign comparable to them at a lower price point?

Or does anyone have one that they are willing to sell or even donate.
I am still paying for the surgery from the crash and would love to try road biking again this summer.

Any advise is welcome!!!!

thanks

I bought a set of gently used Kysrium Elites on CL for $300 two months ago. Love the wheels. Keep checking the bike forum classifieds, CL, etc. An option to consider ... I bought a set of Campagnolo Zonda wheels for my wife's bike (from Shiny Bikes). An amazing wheelset and half the price of new Elite's. If you ask a hundred people you'll probably get 101 different wheel recommendations.

I happen to have a lightly used rear Ksyrium Elite for sale. But it would help if you specified where you are.
