Best Crit wheels - Best cross wheels
What do you think? For cross - Easton EA90SL, Mavic Ksyriums Elite/Equipe, or Fulcrum Racing 5/7/3 For crits - Eastons, Mavic, or Fulcrum?

For any serious cornering and hard sprints I'd go with a good stiff wheel like kryium sl.

Doug, you have a sprint?

Greg, do you need some sweet carbon wheels, made by Zero?

kilgore- 06-11-2008

Yes, I have a sprint. I won a crit once in a straight up sprint. Now if you want me to qualify my sprint, I would rate it as poor, but I do have one.

Los, Ksyriums for Cross, especially for big boys like us. Z

Carlos, I know you like nice stuff, and sell it soon after getting it. So stay far far away from Fulcrums for cyclocross. I just got the Racing3 model for my new road bike, and they came with a warranty card saying they are to be used exclusively for road riding. I don't recall the exact wording, but it was something like, "any riding on surfaces other than smooth roads, including but not limited to gravel or dirt..." (will void the warranty. I was pretty shocked by that. But on my road bike, I really like these wheels!!!
