FFWD F6R vs Campag Bullet vs Mavic Carbon Pro

[bpsmith]

Have narrowed down my choices to the above wheels. Has anyone any experience with any of them, that wouldn't mind sharing their findings?

Am kind of seeing them in the above order at present, after starting out with the Bullet's in mind.

Immediate response would be Bullets, then FFWD then Mavics.

If you're looking for expensive, heavy wheels, then they all fit the bill...

Useful as ever.

How about adding some value by suggesting something else?

 

[Citius]

How about something lighter and cheaper? Or explaining what your intended use is? Better get your answer in quick before jowwy comes along and tells you to just buy wheels that make you happy.

The wheels are all 50-60mm aero wheels. I am aiming to gain and keep speed up on flat runs strangely enough.

Sadly aero, cheap and lighter don't add up to a real product as yet.

Good price, fair play. Prefer the look of the others though.

I think you've answered your own question. Buy the ones you prefer the look of in that case. Think PX also make them with no stickers on if that helps.

In which case, nobody here can advise you.

Unless, of course, somebody has experience of any of the 3 wheelsets and then answers the actual question I raised.

But you've already said that appearance is important, so just buy the set (out of the three you've already posted) which you think looks the nicest.

There are cheap, light, aero wheels out there. The only variables are 'how cheap', 'how light' and 'how aero'.

Looks are part of it for me, yes, but an answer from someone with experience would give me more to go on than looks alone.

Give an example of a smart looking cheap, light, aero wheel?

Define cheap and light
