All else being equal, which wheel-set would you choose:
Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLS or Shimano RS81 C50?
Wheel-set will be used for posing on club runs and very occasional times I chose to race on my road bike. Front will also do dual duty as a stand in for my H3 on long distance TTs and Tris where I'd prefer to run clinchers.
There probably isn't much difference in terms of aeros, I think the Mavics are a touch lighter (and shamefully I think I prefer the graphics) but I think I'm leaning towards the reliability of shimano. Also happy to consider any alternatives that are the same price or cheaper but these would already stretch the budget.
