    hi folks

    can anyone recommend a decent set, light enough with good aero properties for arond the €400 mark?

    2 sets have caught theye so far, one being the Mavic Cosmic Elites and the other being the Kinetic One K1's

    any advice would be very much appreciated

    I have a set of these and I think they're great. They've stood a lot of abuse and are good as new.

    Prolite seem to have difficulty making them fast enough and they tend to sell out fast. Grab them while you can if you want 'em.

    75 euros cheaper from Ribble.:eek:

    Ribble will charge for delivery but still likely to be cheaper if you did decide on them.
