wheels which one??
 
hi, if you have a choice between dura ace wh7850-C50-CL and mavic cosmic carbone at the same price, about (990$) which one would be your choice??

thanks

Mavic Cosmic!

Dura Ace.

I'd get two rather than one wheel.

ninjanoir78 03-12-10 04:18 PM

but the dura ace is lighter than cosmic and probably with better hub no ??

Well there you go... although you didn't mention durability.

Tell you what, flip a coin.

If you could totally go either way, it doesn't matter; if you actually have a preference, you'll find out from your reaction to the result.

Mavic.

could you say why?? why mavic, why dura ace... thanks

The Mavic is not in the same class as the Dura Ace. The Dura Ace's hubs are better - especially the rear hub- and the Mavic does not have structural carbon, just fairing.

I'll pick the Dura Ace C50 clinchers over the Mavic Cosmic Carbone any day.

YMMV.

And at $990 for the Shimanos, that is an effing great price. The cheapest I have seen them is about $1200.

Could you be kind enough to PM me where you found that price? Thanks
