Mavic Cosmos - Rear 
Posted: 25/07/02
'THEY WERE CHEAP, NOW I'M CHEERFUL'
Strengths:
cartridge hubs for ease of maintenance
enough spokes to be strong enough for nearly all road surfaces
mavic quality at a bargain price (I paid £125 for the set from Pearsons Cycles)
Weaknesses:
Free hub is a little heavy.
not the stiffest wheels out there.
Overall:
I've been riding them 4 months for racing, training and pissing about on.
I'm 11 and a bit stone and have had no problems with knocking them out of true.
I'd reccomend them as a set of fast training wheels and even race wheels on a budget.
For the same kind of price you're only going to get Open pros on Ultegra hubs from a wheelbuilder and these have it for ease of maintenance on the hubs at least.
I don't think i'll ride them through the winter as they're too nice to waste on winter roads.
