when does wheel manufacturers release their new wheels? late fall? winter? or early spring next year?
Don't worry, i wrote Mavic Mp3 and asked a few thing of CCU 2014. They sent my mail to Mavic direct and they told me, CCU is very popular by the team riders, there is no plan on a new CCU or revised version. This is the answer i got.
Current version is CCU 2015. When did you ask this? After Alexander Kristoff using wide rim CCU on the front wheel on RVV? Then wide rim CCU spotted on RVV is just a prototype they will never release to the consumer market?
The very end of 2014.
Looked at that which you mension of the front rim. A snub nosed front of rim. It is not the tire bead and brake track end of the rim, it's the spoke end.
My mail was a bit long and quite alot of questions. Mavic wrote back to the UK department of Mp3 and they answered me as they told me my questions were to difficult to answer.
At this mail, the answers were that no update was to expect as the team riders used this wheelset with wider tires and it was very popular.
I also asked about the rim build up and more closesly of rims width and height. The rim is 12K carbon, if they'd changed that layup, the whole wheelset could not just be revised.
It was coming down to a whole new wheelset. Something along those lines. 2014 and 2015 consumer version is same. The latest update is from 2014, check Mavic about the brake track treatment for better heat transfer and braking. But sure, no-one knows what is happening at Mavics. I just shared my answer i did get.
I just looked at my own wheelset, it is shaped differently at the nose section.
