Mavic Cosmic Elite wheels

Anyone got these wheels?

Or considered them, but gone for something else?

Gotsum.

I like them a lot. Bomb proof, aero and light (compared to me) - what's not to like?

what's not to like?

I dunno

That's why I was asking

I have done a bit of research, and ordered Planet X model B Campag wheels, but I have been informed that they will not be getting them back into stock.

I had not intended to spend as much on wheels as these cost but I am drawn to them....most reviews seem to rate them. Just thought I'd ask here.

Any other comment you could make on them would be appreciated. Have you encountered any problems or have served you well? I'm fairly convinced about them but I am looking at finding someone to blame if they are crap

Nope - they have been excellent. Not a problem. Nix - Nil. I use them as training "take it all" wheels and they have been flawless.

You can read all sorts of crap on t'internet about then being useless in crosswinds, too heavy, yada yada yada.

All bull crap IMHO.

Just remember you need long stem tubes or a valve extender.

Having said all that, I don't mind being in the Hall of Blame if you like.

Thanks. There is crap written about most wheels somewhere.

Glad to hear a first hand account of them being good wheels.

I have yet to find 'bad' wheels, TBH, but before I shell out quite a bit of cash on these I thought I had better ask. Glad to hear your positive experience with them.
