This is what I was asking myself when I looked at the build specs of the Addict R2. Alongside premium parts all-around (Ritchey seatclamp, stem, and bars, Fizik saddle, DA7900) they put Mavic's Ksyrium SL Premium wheels. WHY? I can think of a handful of other wheelsets that are more durable, lighter, and/or more aero in the same price range.

Please enlighten me.

Both serious and completely waggish comments are welcome.
