nuge Posted November 23, 2012 Share firstly, you need to ask yourself: 1) are you serious about racing or are you a social rider? 2) are these to be for racing or training or both? 3) are you a light nimble climber or a heavier powerful flats rider?

Reg Lizard Posted November 23, 2012 Share The "old" Ksyrium elites were bomb proof- heard of guys weighing in at 120kg's riding them. I had a set which I passed on after clocking 20000km to a buddy who has subsequently done another 10000km with them and no problem. I upgraded to the Ksyrium SL's and I must say for a 90kg+ ride I would not recommend these. I had my rims replaced earlier this year by Mavic due to cracks after clocking just over 10000km on them.
