I'm looking for new wheel that I can use for both training and racing. I live in the Bay Area and love climbing, so I'm looking for something stiff and light. I'm a pretty strong rider and just did the Vineman 70.3 in about 5 hrs. Here are my thoughts:
Easton Tempest II- Fairly light (1560 grams) and a fairly aero 30 mm deep rim. Not the best climber or the most aero, but it does both fairly well.
Easton Acent II/EA90 SLX- Awesome climber, light stiff. BUT, will it be much slower than the Tempest II on the flats?
Mavic Ksyrium SL- Light, strong, bomber. No aero properties.
Hey all,

Any other wheels? American Classics? Neuvation?
I'm about 160 pds, so not huge. Thanks all!
