Seven day round-up: winter motivation, aluminium vs carbon wheels and Grand Depart date clash dilemma

The best of the last week on RoadCyclingUK

The equipment for our experiment: Mavic Ksyrium Elite S, Bontrager Aeolus 3 D3, and our faithful Kinesis Racelight TK3

Ultimately the choice of aluminium or carbon wheels comes down to preference, budget and need but there is still plenty to ponder on the relative merits of each.

We decided to put them to the test and see how they compared on a brief, out-and-back test circuit on a wind-battered day – perfect to test the varying claims for stability and aero efficiency claims.

Our wheels of choice – the Ksyrium Elite S and the Bontrager Aeolus 3 D3 – provided plenty of food for thought.

Check out our five observations here.
