mavic ksyrium 2004 (used) or Velocity Aerohead (new), front wheel questions
Hi guys!
So I'm looking to upgrade my front wheel: it's an UKAI 700c wich i believe came from an older roadbike. One of my options were to get a used Mavic Kysrium 2004 Edition, ive searched for reviews (both in and out on forums) about that wheel and they're considered light and sturdy. I was looking to see if they are worth it (and if they are any upgrade at all). People with first hand experience on this wheel, I need your thoughts. Also, is it advisable to run newer, less-spoke wheels on a FG? Aesthetics aside, would it even make a difference in handling?
Additional info: I am running a velocity aerohead on my rear, on a Kilo TT.
Wheel Image:
I think this is the 07 version, but it looks the same. Disregard the rear wheel.
Thanks so much and sorry for the newb questions!
