Mavic Aksium vs Shimano WH RS30?

Any other Wheelsets that could compare to the Aksium Quality?

On Papwer, the Aksium and Shimano wheelsets look very close.

You guys with high dollar Zipps, HED's etc. might give some input on durability in case you use these for training rides etc.  Saw a deal on the Shimano's for just over $200 brand new.

I have multiple sets of Aksiums and Neuvations in my garage, I like them both and would not hesitate to buy another of either. (I can't really tell a difference between them...)

x2 on Neuvation. Great price and I think they weigh less. I had a set on my old road bike and loved them. I would have no trouble buying them again.

They run deals all the time. look around the site a little for the deal of the day. Within a week or 2 they will be on sale again.

Actually thru 4/18 at noon Pacific Time they are running a 55% off sale.  You can get a $525 set of wheels (M28 aeros) for $207 (includes shipping). Code is "code-55" and mentions it on the website.

Awesome!  Hope you like them as much as I have.  And for that price I don't think you can get a better wheel.
