They are both pish and come out the box bent, even brand new retail ones.
Most road disc wheels are centre lock these days.

@Berger - I found the Aksium Disc Elite UST in Centrelock for a better price - £206

They've also got the Ksyrium in 6 bolt for £379

Agreed, decide on wheels and see what fitting they are to determine which rotors to get with them. But if they come with a choice go for CL. Cheapest discs with lots of choices are 6bolt (as nearly every MTB wheel is 6bolt), but road is heading towards more CL. So going that route will ensure future compatibility with future 'road' wheelsets. You can also get CL->6bolt adaptors so you can run 6bolt rotors on CL wheels if you want rotor choice... But there's not a 'reverse' adaptor to run CL on 6bolt...centrelock is 6, bolted is half a dozen. There's no meaningful difference between them in use.
i'd put it to the bottom of the decisionmaking pile
Good price, even cheap delivery! Wiggle generally seem to have the best price for campag wheels, so that's a nice little saving. Although I'd go the wiggle route myself knowing the warranty and hassle free returns generally from them.also, bought a pair of Campy Scirocco for 279 too:

I'd always heard Mavic hubs where bad in wet weather, something to do with the design and sealing of the bearings, but I thought that was quite an 'old' problem as they'd moved away from it. Not so sure now...!Mavic hubs are horrible. They have a delrin bush in the freehub body that doesnt last particularly well if wet and dirt get at it.
Never used to be a problem on the road because the rims wore out first, but with discs....

Well I’m getting a Kinesis T3. Won the 60cm frame on eBay. £112 inc postage, so half the price of a new frame.
I’ll have to buy the fork still, Winstanleys stock them so if I buy the fork, and headset maybe they will seat the crown race for me if it needs one & if I ask nicely....
Hopefully it turns up in good time so I can check it and then crack on next weekend as I can just buy most/all the parts from Merlin & Winstanleys locally, then obviously I’ll be using my current wheels as it’s a rim brake frame.
Is there any reason to choose a GXP crank over a BB30?
I guess GXP will have slightly larger bearings so potentially more durable. Apart from that I am drawing a blank.
I thought BB30 was press fit?
My GXP has been faultless. And the replacements are cheap.
that's correct, the receipt came with the wheels had Chicken Cycle on it.That second one appears to be the ebay outlet for chicken cycle kit.
