Cosmic Carbon SLs

and on the subject of frame vs wheels... take a look at page 18 of cycling weekly this week!
Andy Wilkinson winning the anfield 100... on a hybrid with suspension post!

Andy does strange things ...like riding a 12 hour on a MTB (and topping 300 miles!!!!!) and LEJOG on a Moulton, and the fastest ever in a faired recumbent, so he's probably not the best role model

I have the quite old versions of these Cosmic hoops, they look good, they sound good when you whip them up to speed. I think they are heavyish, but most wheels with the faring are going to be a bit heavier than most. I am thinking about getting some new deep section wheels, if you want to make me an offer for my Cosmics. I have only used them a few times every year, predominantly as a spare if one of my other wheels are out of action or if I am doing a flat course or a time trial. They are very strong, they have held me up and have never gone out of true.

They take a campy cassette.

Cheers

PX rims are Gigantex rims. I don't think you can buy them separately from PX anymore.

Derek @ Wheelsmith.co.uk carries the Gigantex rims in 19mm, 38mm & 50mm deep.

Gigantex 19mm 20h or 24h: £120 each. Internal nipples
Gigantex 38mm (24h only): £130 each. Internal nipples
Gigantex 50mm 20h or 24h: £150 each. External nipples

The Gigantex 50mm rim weigh 450ish grams as a comparison my own LEW Pro VT-1 46mm deep rims are in the 290 grams mark and cost £300 ea in 2007.
