My first bike build journey has officially started: the frame I wrote about some days ago is on its way, and the wheels just came in! I hope you appreciate a couple of close-ups.

Model and specs:

  • Mavic Cosmic SL 45
  • Inner width: 23mm
  • Weight (manufacturer spec): 1555g/pair
  • Weight (measured, with tape but without valves): 1601g

Any comment is appreciated!

Of the ratchet or the carbon? :)

I like them! I could have paid less for lighter and probably stiffer wheels by 9Velo, Lightbicycle or Elite but these don’t look too bad of a deal.
