Hi,
I'm thinking of building some new wheels.
Does anybody know the weight of a cosmic carbon rim??
they are sold seperatly.
Maybe with tune hubs and sapim cx-ray spokes they should be lighter as the whole mavic set up.
Anybody got a clue??
greetings marijn

I think that the Cosmic Carbon (which is really aluminum with a thin fairing) is the worst way to build such a wheel. There are lighter and better real carbon rims available, or complete wheels which may even be less expensive.
Ride lightly!

retail price is about 250 euro, i think.
give me details and names then, please.
so i can continue my search.

hej marijn,
where did you spot them?
if you like to search, the corima aero are complete carbon rims, they go for EUR 248,- (380gr.). directly from www.corima.fr
but there´s a difference-the cosmics are aero bomb-proof everyday wheelsets (as you can see many pros like bettini use), carbon wheels are more special (brake pads, stiffness f.ex.) for comp. use.
tobias.
nothing.

The Cosmics are a good general-purpose road wheel as they are. I admit, they are not that light, though. If you are looking to build a good general-purpose road wheel, I built a set using the Ambrosio X-Carbos with an FRM carbon front hub, a Record 10 rear hub and Sapim CX-Rays.
