Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cosmic Carbone Wheels

Does anyone use this wheel for road cycling, instead of triathlon?

I would think that other wheels would hold up better for daily riding. They'd be cool on a race bike, though. My luck, Id hit the first pot hole I rode by, and crack one.

For the price go with Zipps or HEDs or Reynolds or...But as long as your not riding hills or serious cross winds (and your riding faster than 20mph) they're supposed to be pretty sweet. Though their durability is questionable as longrider said.

Nice wheels an dused by many riders road racing.

Warranty is there much like all the other bigger brands.

Nothing bad to say.

Buy them from an authrorized source so you can get warranty and service.
