I'm pretty sure it was 2000, and I think 2002 was the first year of the SSC, so 5 years, either way they are old, and the carbones even older. Mavic wheels are nice, but there getting behind times, especially the carbons, at 2000g for a wheel set thats really heavy, time to use higher modulus carbon don't you think?
The first the world could see the Mavic Ksyrium was when Armstrong rode the 1999 tour with it (his first after surviving cancer). The next year they were availeble in the shop. 100 % sure about that.
the bikes of the pro riders dont have to be lighter than 7 or 7,5 kg
with their power there would be to much flex on the bike
so they choose the stiffest wheels
but it's true the best riders of the world use LIGHTWEIGHT and a few use ada (millar...)
be sure they wouldnt take cosmics if it isn't good!

I'm not saying they are not good, they are, but I'm saying they are kinda old and definatly heavier then most high end wheels. You think they could redesign them to be lighter, but I guess it's not very easy.
And pros bike have a weight limit of 6.8k, and from what I've been hearing with cannondale it will be dropped to either 6.6 or 6.4k in the next season or two. YEAH!
