"600 km are they nearly worn out?
I would hope a wheel should last 50,000 Km or more with moderate treatment."

NEW BIKE SHOP GETS MY VOTE

As most of you know,i've been searching far and wide for the right set of wheels, to handle my weight on my new Orbea that i bought a few months ago
The original wheelset are Mavic Kysrium Elites,which by all reports,are a fantastic training wheel.Coming in at 100kg,the wheels had to much flex for my liking.They just had to be changed.
I visited most LBS around town and even looked on the net.Prices for the wheelset that i was after,were;nt at the lower end…

- Hey Vujos. I got my Wilier about 5-6 years ago and its still great. Its got carbon seatpost/stem, forks and and rear stays. Aluminium top tube and down tube. Its still in really good nick after a ton of punishment. Im 6'1" and about 85kgs. Its still pretty stiff although I have ridden a mate of mines wilier which is all carbon and that is unbelievable. Id definitely recommend them. Wheelset is campag vento. Good fairly simple training set of wheels.
