New bike - wheel choice
Hello,
I'm on the verge of ordering a Rose X-lite CRS 4400 (http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/bike/rose-x-lite-crs-4400), which comes with DT Swiss R20 Dicut wheels as standard.
For an additional £71 I can change these to Mavic Ksyrium Elite S wheels; these come recommended but I don't have any knowledge of the original DT Swiss wheels.
Does anyone have any experience/thoughts/opinions of the wheel choice, £71 upgrade value or the bike in general?
Thanks!

Don't know about DT Swiss R20s but I have recently bought some Mavic Kysrium Elite Ss and they are great. I've only put 500 miles into them so far, but they do make a big difference, they roll and accelerate well and they are nimble uphill. I thought that I had got a good deal at £425 from Ribble (Nov 2014) rrp over £500 originally. They were highly recommended by several of my cycling buddies who have been using them for many years in their various incarnations.
