Rob,

I've got a pair of Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels hanging up in my shed which I've been thinking about selling for a while. You are welcome to try them out first if you want. They have a Campagnolo free hub but if you run Shimano I can swap the freehub from your current wheels.

They havent been used for about 3 years (I build my own wheels now) but they are very good hoops (as Geoff says).

If you're out tomorrow we can chat then if you like.

Cheers

Steve

Basically snap Steve's arm off for those SLs, great all round wheelset for your budget.

I like shiny things
