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

Need wheel comparison

Hello!

I need some wheel advice...

I recently bought a 2009 Allez Elite. I also was recently offered a set of Mavic Ksyrium Equipes. Which wheelset is generally considered better? (I have a second bike I can mount the other set to.)

The use would be road riding in a flat city with potholes, etc. and some training.

Thanks!

I would just stick with the Mavic CXP22's. I don't believe that the Ksyrium Equipes offer a big enough performance gain to buy them. If you can get them for a rediculous price, then you might as well pick them up, but if you're gonna pay close to retail, I'd pass and save money for a good wheelset.

Its not a very big upgrade. I would suggest that you wait and do a custom set.
