New Wheels - Need Advice

trinewbie

Hi All –
Want to upgrade the wheels on my training/Commuetr (Giant SCR4) Currently have
bog Standard Alex DA22 Rims on Richey Hubs. Want to upgrade slightly . Was thinking of

http://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=13744 Fulcrum 7

Or
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=12863 Mavic Krysium


Is Price difference worth it for these?I know the Krysium have soeme good reviews but have not heard much about the fulcrum 7’s.

The Ksyrium's are a better wheel but you would expect that for the price difference, Mavic Aksiums are closer in price and are a bomb proof wheel. We sold a lot last year and they dont give trouble.

That was a shemless plug alright!:D

Is there a major diference in weight between the Krysium and Askium?
what would be the advantageds of streching for the Krysium?

I assume that upgrading to either should make a noticeable difference?

There is only 160 gram difference, The Ksyrium are marginally better performance wise but I think I would go with the Aksiums for commuting. They will stand up to regular winter use better.
Depends on which is more important, durability or performance.

Ksyriums are fab wheels... there is some difference between them and my 'normal' wheels....
