    Alright, I finally got the disposable camera developed, so I now have pictures of the new(ish) race wheels. Hehe, took the pictures almost 2 months ago! I have only used the wheels 3 or 4 times(once for a TT and then 2 or 3 times on the road b/c I couldn't find where my allen wrench went to switch out the break pads) I absolutely love them, but since they tubulars, they are race only wheels.


    So Silver, this post is for you!

    OHHHHHHH!!!!! wow!!!!! They look soooooooo FAST!

    how much do they weigh? How do they feel?

    Did you mount the tires? tubulars? hmmm....whole area that I know nothing about how it's done. I doubt that I'll ever get them, so no need to use up my remaining and fragile brainspace

    Aren't you selling that bike?

    They are fast:-) I wish they weren't tubulars so I could ride them more often(ie super fast group rides,hehe)

    I didn't mount tires- tubulars are a little bit out of my league! The BF works at the LBS and they did it for me,hehe- but one day I will learn.

    They feel amazing, I love how they sound! When I TTed with them, there was a big headwind one direction and a slight crosswind the whole way, and it never really bothered me(and that was the first time I rode them).

    The pair weighs in at 1765 grams.
    I can't wait to use them in crits this season, so excited!

    I am selling that bike :-( I love it, so comfy, but just not the power transfer that I had with carbon. So away it goes.

    They are fast, E
    One of my sons has Cosmic Carbones, and he really loves them

    I don't like deep dish wheels so much (have tried riding his and got a set of Grammo Vipers for my birthday)

    I have swapped with my partner - he has my new Grammos, and I have his trispokes... and like the Cosmics/deep dish wheels, tri spokes make a cool sound on the TT bike (not as ominous as a disc, but pretty cool all the same )

    Enjoy... looking forward to hearing about how they and you go in the crits
