Man with no name Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Boras are the obvious choice, and thats the problem.... all Colnagos have Boras. That's because Colnago deserves Campy and vice versa Met these two brothers at the T d Stellenbosch Those special edition C60s make my "regular" look, well, regular
Patchelicious Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Does anybody have opinions on these Corimas?They seem cool, and a bit more unique than obvious choices...

The Mavic's with upgraded adhesives are a good selling point. Thats always the concern with carbon clinchers when it comes to overheating.

carbon29er Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Looking at all these suggestions for wheels I am really happy that:I learned to build wheelsI distribute a really decent hubI like disc brakesI found a great Chinese rim manufacturerI like matt black wheelsI'm big enough to handle 35mm in Cape Town windsI reckon I'm getting 95% of the performance at 40%-50% of the price. Which means I can run ceramic bearings and roll even better.
Veebee Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Retail on these are about 34k.LBS can do them for 29k. Same wheel in the link I posted earlier.
Jakkals. Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 When last was a good wheel test done between the top manufacturers? I'm trying google but not winning. The shape of a lot of brands have changed over the years and the old tests isnt accurate anymore. any help?

The Cosmic Pro has 17mm internal width. There use mention also of aluminium in the braking surface construction.
