As above , I have around £300 for new road wheels and my choice has came to one of the above . Ribble have a great deal on Zondas with decent Vriedstein tyres included and they are lighter but the mavics look great . Also considered Fulcrums . Any other advice is appreciated.
I've just gone for Cosmic Elites...
They seem spotty dog thus far.
Considerably less than £300 from Merlin.

Avoid Fulcrums
Never owned the others so don't know I but now don't own Fulcrums and I'm happier for it
Campag are fulcum hubs aren't they? or the other way round...
either way get the mavics
Campag are Fulcrum but seemingly Fulcrums are weaker because of a shoddy bearing seal . I owned campag Ventos which seemed cosiderably better than my budget shimanos.
No probs with Zonda's here. they look smart, and are stiff as anything, which with my 93kg lump on top of the bike is a good test of any wheel. My only concern/worry with them is if I were to break a spoke I believe sourcing a replacement spoke can be tricky.
It's a wheel at the end of the day, just get the one you can get the best deal on.
Half baked empirical comment ahoy
I've got a 2004 set of Zondas which have been faultless if now not a little tired.
In that time I've had two Mavic Aksium rears fail in the spoke flanges. Not had any problems with other lower end wheels in that time.
Make of that what you will.
