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

Yet another which wheel thread

Time for new wheels on my Merlin to replace the original Ksyrium Elites.

Narrowed down to three options (aluminum clinchers):

Mavic SLS C

Campagnolo Eurus

Fulcrum Racing Zero

Advice? Experience? Recommendations?

Thanks,

Mike

I just bought a set of mavic sls for my bike and really like them so far. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the three listed but I'm sure people will suggest custom built wheels with wider rims blah blah.

Take some masking tape and write the three options on different pieces. Put the pieces on your current front wheel and then spin it. Whichever option is closest to the fork is the one you should choose.
