Roval wheels advice sought regarding replacement

[Anton]

Hi all,

I am after some advice regarding replacing my specialized Roval Fusee SL E5 wheels. The Roval rear wheel has cracked on the rim, which is the third wheel out of four in five years. Not being an expert on wheels as these wheels where on my Specialized Roubaix when purchased five years ago ( two of them were initially replaced by Specialized) I was wondering what would be the best wheels be to replace the Rovals? Not really after carbon wheels as I have a pair already which I use when racing. I am really after something decent for everyday riding/training. Just been looking at the reviews for the Rovals and it appears that the cracked rim issue seems to be quite common, so anything better than those really. Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Campagnolo Zonda - 5 years use - no problems - really well made in every department (ie hubs/spokes/rim and braking surface).

Not the stiffest or lightest - but if you are not racing who cares?

Spares available.

Downside - you may have to service them yourself as quite a few LBS's don't speak Campagnolo.

How many $$ do you want to spend. The Mavic Ksyrium range is excellent, start about £250 a pair to upwards of £500 or more.
