wheels

IMO Cosmics Carbons are overpriced considering what you get - a plastic fairing on an alu rim. They
are pretty heavy too... For that type of wheel a Hed Jet is more reasonably priced. I've had a
couple pairs of Zipps over the years and they've been good.

I am about to part with some readies on pair of race wheels, but as yet am unsure of what to buy.

A few people have mentioned the Mavic Cosmic Carbon and also the Spinergy tilium carbons have been
mentioned. Has anyone got any comments or recommendations?

Many thanks.

There are also widespread allegations regarding numerous dramatic catastrophic failures of Spinergys
that have led many to view them as dangerous.

Spinergy 'GACK' ! My opinion based on ownership is that the product is shoddy and their service is
worse than their product. Quality control is a major issue here. Have you thought about Zipps?

If you are sticking with tri's and tt's and your budget is high I would go with Zipp 404's. 303's
would be the next best thing. I have not tried it but a zipp 404 front and one of hed's new trispoke
disks might be a great combo also. If you are doing any road racing I would not use these. I might
go with a cosmic carbone because of the rim. Too easy to pull a spoke out of carbon rims. Both these
wheels are great but very few have the money to buy them. I know I just bought my new Crit / tri
wheels for this year. Velomax tempest. A little heavier and a little more shallow than the zipp but
$700 extra in my pocket. Good Luck Mike

Thanks guys. From the feedback it sounds as though I should give the Spinergy a miss. A shame
because on paper they do seem to be an excellent choice (although slightly more money than I wanted
to spend!). I've not thought about the Zipps, but I will certainly give them a look.
