I'm trying to figure out which wheels to put on a Seven road bike. I plan to ride it during the off-season and through late spring on all kinds of terrain, including some hill-climbing weekends w/ sicko roadies, so it needs to be light but tough since I weigh 200 lbs. Debating the Elans vs the Race X Lites . . . the Elan reviews keep mentioning that they bob at high speeds. Anyone have that experience with them? Has it been fixed in the newer wheels? The Race X Lites are 200g heavier than the Elans but seem more reliable. Any thoughts?

What color is you Seven going to be?
Personally, I'd pick the ones that match my bike.
Color aside, I'd lean towards the Rolphs.

I've had the Rolf Prima Vigors and love them, absolutely. They feel magical when I climb, although the only other wheel I've trained on is a Mavic Open Pro, so yeah, duh! right? 200lbs on an Elan sounds a little bit heavy, maybe? I'm not totally sure, but considering they make a Vigor and a Clydesdale Vigor it seems like the CVigor should at least be an option, and the set still comes in under 1500g I think.
