My husband has over 10,000 miles on his Kysrium Elites and loves them! I think he has only trued them once. I have ridden them once they are stiff! I really want to upgrade my Askium Race to some Kysriums. DH races them but he doesn't do a lot of racing, just here and there when he has a weekend off. They were stock on his Cannondale R5000 which was second only to the first Six13 when he picked it up. Must not be too shabby for racing?
