I'm (finally) replacing my Shimano 535's with a decent set of wheels and I'm not sure which route to go. First option is a decent set of pre-builts, either the Mavic Ksyrium Elites or the Velomax Circuits. OR, get some built wheels, still debating between CXP33 or Open Pro's built around Ultegra or Dura-ace (I just upgraded to D/A 10, so Im leaning towards the Dura-ace hubs).
Just for reference, I weigh 170, don't ride on particularly rough roads very much, and plan on doing some racing with these wheels. I ride hard enough to flex the 535's (which I imagine is not that hard) as I can hear the brakes rub on the rims when I stand up to sprint or climb fast, so I'm not sure if the Open Pros will be stiff enough (want to stick with 28 or 32 hole at most to keep weight down).
The Elites or Circuits would cost me about $200-$250 more from my LBS, so I'm just wondering if it's worth the extra $$? Thanks
