If you're a big rider at 90 kg plus, choose carefully.

I've use Ksyrium and deep section Mavics - no issue.

Great wheels.

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?

Yip have taken that into account especially with carbon rims, I'm at 85kg

How does Shimano wheels compare with the list, Rs80 and Ultegra

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.
