Hi there knowledgeable ones,

I would like to get your opinions on the above two wheel sets. I know the 6700 are only 10sp hubs which isn’t that big of a draw back since I doubt I would be upgrading to 11sp (famous last words). Both are listed on CL and both appear to be in very good shape. The reviews I can find on these wheelsets are about the same with the Ultegra wheelset getting a slight nod. Both sets are listed around $300 with the 6700 coming with Hutchinson tubeless tires. Not sure of the advantage of a tubeless tire on a road bike but I loved them on my mtn bikes. These wheels would be replacing a set of velocity rims and hubs that seem slow as molasses compared to a set of roval fusee I had.

So any thoughts you might have on these two wheelsets, especially if you had both would be appreciated.

TIA - Rick

Ksyrium Elite and Ksyrium Equipe are very different wheelsets.

I’d steer clear of the Ksyriums due to their proprietary spokes and a tendency to crack at the rim near the nipple. I had a set of Eite S for a year and vowed never again. At least they were under warranty, too bad warranty repairs took 3 months to get sorted out. On the plus side those were the wheels that got me into building my own wheels and I’d never go back!

A brand new set of 6800s isn't much more than $300. I wouldn't pay that much for the 6700s.

Another vote for 6800s. Bulletproof, reasonably light, inexpensive wheels with great hubs and high build tension. Downsides: tight tire fit and proprietary spokes.
