December 2nd I was hit by a car while on my daily ride. Aside from a few broken bones and bruises I am VERY lucky and recouperating. The rear wheel of my Trek 5200 (a Bontrager Race Lite) was smashed in half, the front seems to be intact except for the the Conti GP3000 which was somehow torn off of it. I am allready looking forward to being back on the bike and looking to replace the wheels (Shimano DA cassette seems fine as well). I looked up the Bontrager RaceLite and it retails at 275 rear/200 front (dont need a front but for comparisson). I also looked at the Mavic Kysrium Elite (549), I can get an 04 set brand new for around 450. Is the Mavic Kysrium Elite a better wheelset than the Bontrager or should I just replace the Bontrager and ride? If there is another wheelset at the under $600-700 pricepoint that would be clearly better please let me know so I can look at it.
Thanks
