Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a wheel upgrade and was looking at these 2.

What are opinions on the above wheels and prices of them?

Is there any gotcha's when upgrading your wheels, i know to make sure your cassette fits but anything else.

Thanks

That's a lot of money!

Bear in mind that the deeper the profile the worse they behave in cross winds.

At that price get the shop to fit the cassette as you may need to tweak your rear derailleur to get the perfect set up back but you may not though.

What are you upgrading from and what are you hoping to gain from a wheel upgrade?

Are these for racing? Sportives? Do you want something lightweight? Aero? Tubular or Clincher?

If you are considering the Mavic's you might want to look here: http://www.jedi-sports.de/product_info.php/info/p2519_Mavic-Cosmic-Carbone-SL-2011.html or else get cycle superstore to do some serious pencil sharpening

I took a gamble on a set of zerocx wheels, probably only have about 400-500km on them so far, but they seem strong, still true even after some really nasty roads. The ceramic bearings are smooth.....worth considering anyway.
