Wheels On The Bike(Bus) Go Round & Round

[Miranda]

The wheels on the bike (bus) go round and round, round and round... do any of you have that children's story book song stuck in your head now??? HA! OK, when you are done cursing me through cyberspace, answer purity please if inclined so...

I read the old threads on here, but only saw one post related to a negative I heard from my lbs...

These are some wheel options:

Mavic Ksyrium Elite
One I thought I would go with, knew of, etc. But, my lbs guy said he had them himself, used to rec, and then some of his peeps had problems. Thus, he doesn't so much now. I read about a couple spoke issues on here. I'm not sure what the other issues might be?

Shimano Ultegra
Heavier, but solid ws. Would match gruppo.

DT Swiss R1900
This one the shop suggested as he liked best for the $/value etc. Said they have been around a long time. Are lighter, etc. Good solid set.

Seeings how I live in a cave, I had not really read up on DTs. Lots of good stuff here.

But, then OMG... I clicked on the DT R1850 in white... Holy Bike Porn Batman! *sigh* mo $ though...
*caution... link might cause heart palpitations*
