Which is the best wheel set - Bontrager RL vs Mavic Ksyrium Elite S?

[Citius]

"Better" not "best", as there's only two things being compared. There, I feel better now.

Perhaps you could also critique the OP's thread title..?

I would argue that a set is singular not plural and when comparing two items, 'which' would be more grammatically pleasing than 'what'

We should all go back to speaking Latin..

Not a bad idea. More than half our words come straight from that anyway.

Lol, much marketing bollox in there.

If they're so good why isn't every single pro team on them?

I particularly like how they ignore crucial things like the crap free hub quality on a 5000 quid pair of wheels.

Best you sit down and have a beer.

You lot are making this too complicated with nefarious philosophical questions.

Op should put the new wheel at the back, and continue using old wheel at the front. Hey presto, no more decisions! (Except I suppose do you want the new wheel at the back or the front?)

Looks like you should have asked on here before spending your money , some fulcrum 5's would have done you just as good

Wow, thread of the week.

Again.......

The op's just asking a question to which we should be giving him an answer, if we have any opinion of the wheels in question, no need for the innuendo.

What is the point of any answer to the question that was asked though? Surely you can see what a pointless thread it was?

The guys got two pair of wheels and has actually ridden both sets on the bike to which this applies. And he's asking us which we think he should use. It is crazy enough asking for necessarily subjective and unreliable and help-free opinions on product A vs B when you're considering buying one or other of them. When you already own both A and B it's a completely pointless exercise. Can you grasp this?

If not then please help me out with a dilemma of my own: I have got these two pairs of pants that are basically of the same type, but different brands and one is stripes and the other dotty, and I just don't know which to wear today. Which do you think I should wear?

 

[Cuchilo]

go with the stripes incase you meet a girl . Girls like stripey pants
