Thinking about getting a set of these to replace the wheels I currently have

(Matrix Aurora, welded, machined sidewall rims; Shimano Tiagra, 32h hubs; 14G stainless spokes)


Anyone have them? How do you like them? Any others I should be looking at?


Thanks.

and went with the Cosmos. There just didn't seem to be enough there to go with the extra cost.

1) They are on order at the LBS.

2) If it ever gets above 25 degrees and I ever get to ride again, I'll let you know.

No. but have over 3,000 HARD miles on a set of Mavic Elite and they are fast and as true as when I bought them.

Most of the club guys that have them seem satisfied ( but who admits to buying a lemon ) still .... seems alot of money for bugger all when you can get two ( or more ) pairs of ultegra / open pro wheels and still have change for the casette and tyres , your choice but conventional is easier to service and cheaper to replace when ( not if ) you crash .

My 2004 Vigorelli came with them. So far, I am very happy with them. I really can't offer much of a comparison since this is my first road bike.
