I have 3 sets of wheels and a conundrum.
My only built up and barely used road bike is a Cannondale card x black inc. di2 ultegra 10sp. When I got it, I swapped out the original ultegra 67x series wheels for some fulcrum quattros as I liked the look of the deeper section run, plus I didn't see the need for tubeless which they were set up as. I say need, it was new to me, scary modern stuff which I didn't have the time for then.
I've now also got some Mavic ksyrium wheels.
I want to put the better wheel set on the Cannondale, and the next best on a bike I'm building (trek domains 2.3). It's not minty, but the idea of it is to build it up as a half decent bike and do some road miles on it to compare it to the Cannondale. Why? I haven't ridden the Cannondale in a long time and it's a bit of a waste sitting in the garage gathering dust. I'll post another thread on this and why shortly.
If I get back into road, mainly for fitness and slightly easier to fit into my life than off road, it may rekindle me into using the Cannondale, or push me to selling it if not.
So, which is the better set of wheels to go on the better bike? Ksyrium elite, fulcrum quattro or the original ultegra!
I'm happy with tubeless now, so that's not a bother or consideration in the choice, though not sure if the mavics or fulcrums are tubeless.
Thoughts please.
