Hello,
im looking at buying some climbing wheels. I have a budget of around £1000. I would like to know some oppinions on some of the products out there on the market before i buy.
Im look for somthing lightweight of course, under 1400g and im looking at clincher rims, i dont want to make the jump to tubular as fitting looks fiddly for a novice, but i would be open to suggestions and advice in this area. I also need the hub to be shimano/sram.
I have seen two wheels that i like, the first being EASTON EA90 SLX

and Mavic R-Sys

I really like the eastons and the price is a real winner for me, but im not sure if its worth the extra £460 for the Mavics , can anyone tell me the differance between the two? which one would you buy?
If i've missed any info ill get back to you, id really appreciate any advice and thank you for your time
