Subject: RE: Light wheels or arodynamic?eggraid101 - 2010-07-29 2:46 PM They'd be for training and racing both, and they'd be for tris and road riding both, too. A do-it-all wheelset, right?
Oops, you're right, I had pulled up the Cosmic Elites that are 30mm, the Ksyrium are 22/25 mm depth.
I had some old Mavic Cosmic something-or-other that were fairly deep - 50-60mm I'd guess. I've lost 3 eyelets on those wheels, so I think they're done for. They were fine, any comparable wheels you can think of? It sounds like you have Cosmic Carbones. If you can get them repaired I would. They are great wheels for training and racing. Zipp makes great wheels but are very expensive. Similar wheels are available at Planet-x and Renn at a much lower cost. I train on the heaviest non-aero wheels I own and do a good bit of my training in the mountains. When I race, I use a lighter, aero wheel and can feel the difference. |
