I'm looking at road bike wheel sets online, currently I have mavic aksuim on both my winter bike(old carrera) and my good bike which is a specialized roubaix. Recently I have had to replace some spokes on both sets and my older set is really needing replaced tbh.
Has anyone purchased the pro lite Garda from ribble? What do you think?
Also looking at shimano r501 30mm, they get decent reviews online but most reviews aren't after a year of use.
Campagnola g3 khamsin?
I'll cover about 4000 miles a year, 3000 on the wheels I'm looking at ,as I don't intend to use them through the winter.

update for anyone searching about these wheels.
I purchased the pro lite garda, they look good and felt great and i was told they where robust,£100 complete with tyres and tubes. How dissapointed was i when i was out on my second ride with them (40 mile all in) and it appeared i had broke a spoke. ribble have agreed to repair under warranty. under further inspection the spoke wasnt broke but the nipple had came completely loose. Bad manufacturing maybe? Early doors but AVOID.

Before my front wheel was returned my rear wheel had 4 loose spokes, ribble decided to refund after two weeks negotiating. Sounds like a conversation with myself but it's a heads up as all I seen online was good reviews.
