Eurus vs Ksyriums

Has anybody had experience with the durability of Campy Eurus wheels vs Ksyriums? I have a set of
Ventos that have served me well for years, but I'm thinking of buying a new set of "special" wheels
just for the...well...just because. I have a set of handbuilt Open Pro 32 spoke wheels, so please
don't divert this discussion to the relative merits of boutique vs handmade wheels (as all the
threads I just read
did).

About equal I would say...and about the same chance of having small parts like spokes and rims in
say, 3-4 years(small)..

So THATS what veggemite is.

Thanks, mate

I have a pair of the Ksyriums. The LBS took 'em out of the box and trued them, dished them and
stress relived them before he put them on the bike.

2 years of almost daily riding - so far so good.

I've used them both.

Rode the K's for two years, never had a problem. Absolutely bulletproof. I weigh 175lbs. Driven in
all roads and condition.s

Now with the Eurus for one season. No problems, absolutely without a flaw. Sold the K's with a bike.

I like the Eurus more for aesthetic reasons.
