The Pro lite or Mavic 2013 Ksyrium Equipe S

If i was a lightweight I would go for the pro-lites !

Lighter the wheels you go they are going to be less durable unless pro-lite know something mavic dosnt!

Pro-lites then , at £220 they look a steal!

I bought the mavic cosmic elites(£240) as I think they are more durable for heavy 15st rider and type of riding i do ( long flat 50 -100 milers)

You can get 8/9/10 spd version for sure, I have a pair, ran them with 9 spd Shimano Tiagra, 10 spd Shimano 105 and 10 spd SRAM Red. They are heavy but dependable wheels. Very strong.

Not to piss on the parade but they are silly heavy (1900g ffs) and tbh, I doubt they will be more durable than the Pro-Lite, probably about the same, less spokes on the rear, but a slightly deeper rim (3mm). I have the track version (Ellipse, same rim but with black anodised braking surface), IMO massively over priced and under specced, regretted buying them for the past 2 years. Didn't quite get them for £240, but a chunk cheaper than they currently sell for. At least they look good though.
