Got the pot to rebuild my race only bike. using new Ultegra on an old TCR Advanced frame.
The wheels are down to three in budget. Use will be LVRC races and crits.
Giant P-SLR 1392g set
Kysirium SL
Kysirium SR
Not sure what the difference is on the Mavics.

Sr is carbon tubular spokes, SL is alloy spokes.

I'd be going for the SLs; had some original SLs that are 9 years old and the rear has just died...

Think about the carnage from a pedal in the spokes...

To make it harder to call, those Giant wheels are made by Mavic anyhow.
