SOLD: Mavic Cosmic Carbon WTS

Posted on
  • These came off an insurance replacement Canyon I got at the end of last year just before the range was updated, and I have the wheelset I need to shift to pay for impending nuptials. They are completely unused as you will see from the photos.

    The more I read up about them they clearly sound better than my existing wheelset but, I can't justify both.

    Why you should buy them:

    • U shaped and wide 25mm external.
    • Braking is really decent for a full carbon rim.
    • They come with free super light Mavic tyres but also the Canyon dishplate of death! And the decent Mavic skewers.

    But:

    • they aren't tubeless
    • I probably won't post, so collection in East London.
    • They have been superseded by the new range so I am struggling to find their sale price, only at £1200 RRP and £900 on sale. This seems like a lot.

    Please take them off me for £650 £600 £500.

  • fast wheels, but they are alloy / carbon with exalith brake surface, am i wrong ?

  • I think you correct @Glws

  • Let me check - there are so many variants from Mavic but the rim body is definitely not alloy.

  • Stick 'em on some scales. The carbon / alloys have never been light. The carbon only were pretty svelte.

  • Good idea..will do.

    @Glws which Mavics are you after?

  • That's pretty much it, an alloy rim with exalith 2 brake track which then has a carbon faring (think that's the right word) bonded to it.

  • The all carbon ones have the carbon weave through the brake surface

  • These have the alloy braking track, are rapid af and make space ship noises when you brake.

    GLWS

  • I am after no wheels in particular. Just my 2 cents : i owned the non-exalith non-wide version and they were fine wheels, the only koms i briefly held in london were thanks to those.

  • Price drop to £500

  • Racing people with these wheels makes it sound like you're being chased by a spaceship

  • So badly want these. Need another couple of months first though.....

  • Can you remove that dish plate?

  • I think it’s a UCI requirement

  • You need one of those tools for dissecting a lobster

  • Are the wheels still available?

  • Currently looking sold but will update if anything changes.

  • Sold, thanks all.
