But for $550, I can put the money toward something else. I need a new set for TT purposes. So, I'm looking at FLOs and even some of the higher end SuperTeam wheels. I see a set of "saw tooth" SuperTeams that are wide, fairly aero, and have pretty good reviews. I have a set of ST's that I train with and they're actually quite good. Stiff and the hub rolls as well has the Campy hubs on a set of Zondas that I have. I'm also considering a set of 9Aeros, based upon that guy "Hambini's" recommendation.
I have the 2005 variant of the Cosmic SSC at the time when they were made in France and not in Romania



I also have the precursor of the Cosmic SSC, the Cosmic Carbone from1999



The older hubs might not be carbon but are very durable and reliable.
