New bike - wheel choice
Hello,
I'm on the verge of ordering a Rose X-lite CRS 4400 (http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/bike/rose-x-lite-crs-4400), which comes with DT Swiss R20 Dicut wheels as standard.
For an additional £71 I can change these to Mavic Ksyrium Elite S wheels; these come recommended but I don't have any knowledge of the original DT Swiss wheels.
Does anyone have any experience/thoughts/opinions of the wheel choice, £71 upgrade value or the bike in general?
Thanks!

Presumably, with its diamond coating, the lock will also be sparkly enough to stop innocent drivers from knocking you off your bike?

Nice try to dress up the stats but 60% of cases get warning letters which are useless and might as well jsut be filed in the bin

Don't know about DT Swiss R20s but I have recently bought some Mavic Kysrium Elite Ss and they are great. I've only put 500 miles into them so far, but they do make a big difference, they roll and accelerate well and they are nimble uphill. I thought that I had got a good deal at £425 from Ribble (Nov 2014) rrp over £500 originally. They were highly recommended by several of my cycling buddies who have been using them for many years in their various incarnations.
