I am going climbing in the Alps this summer- currently I have Ksyrium Elite's.
What would be a good upgrade in terms of wheels?
And how stupid would a pair of Carbone SL's be?
Keep the Ksyrium Elites - they have steel spokes and are therefore not handicapped by resembling a turbine fan.
Hed Ardennes or Zipp 101 would be an upgrade, but I doubt that the difference is worth £600 to £1100
Cosmic Carbone SL should probably be left at home if you're going climbing, although they have a good reputation as a strong and fast wheel for flat races.
