I noticed concavity forming on the braking surfaces of the rear rim on my Cane Creek Strados wheelset. Then I noticed a pair of Ksyrium Equipe wheels for sale at Perfomance.com. I want to "use up" the Cane Creeks before replacing them, but I bought these Mavics for use at some pount down the road.
This is a picture (from the web) of the Cane Creeks they will replace.
I don't know if I'll wear the old wheels out anytime soon, because they are on the bike I ride the least, so I'm not sure buying new wheels was a good idea. They look cool though and feel light when I lift them up. Is this an upgrade, downgrade or treading water? Both sets cost me $200, but the Mavics had a higher initial list price.
