I think you should buy a used wired setup for <$400 or a new wireless ANT+, nothing in the middle. Wired commits you to this computer and this wheel until you replace the entire system, while ANT+ compatibility allows you to swap each piece independently. The price difference between the Competitive Cyclist Pro+ wheel deal and used seems too small.

There will be the new G3 with the separate electronics pod, but the new Pro seems to be a refinement (-20g) of the current Pro+.

What is a good price for the mounting kits? Competitive Cyclist lists them at $70 (!).

First generation = 2005? That's pretty good resale value retention. Are these laced into nice rims?
