Wheel question

[Vocal Minority]

All - very quick question.

I have a new bike coming next week, with a very boggo pair of wheels.

The current bike has Shimano R501s, and I have a pair of Mavic Kysirium Equipes which I was given.

Which is best to put on the new bike, and which to put on the current for sale?

I'd fit the Mavics and sell the R501s but you wont get much more than £50 for them unfortunately... might be worth holding on to them as winter wheels/spares and sell the boggo new pair?

Cheers for the answer, but the losing pair will be attached to the bike being sold, rather than retained or sold in isolation, sorry to confuse

The Mavics are the much better wheel. And what's all this about selling a bike? Winter/training/turbo/fixie/hybrid bike surely?

Grand - Mavics it is.

Unfortunately S-1 kicks in, and S is 2. (for road bikes anyway).

Also getting married. Its only worth £300 or so - but every little helps

What's the old bike and size?

Mikee - sorry for the late response, if you notice!

Its a BMC SR01 (Tiagra Triple equipped) - though 51 cm so a bit small even for a short @rse like me.

Due to a manufacturer problem with the stock wheels (would you believe) it has been pressed into service for a little longer however.
