Jean-Jay Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Heya all, just noticed this thread now, WOW u are one lucky chap to be in this position. Although i must add that i am partial to the Mavic Cosmic Carbone, i have a set myself and love them to bits. Your bike looks good with all those wheels, in fact it looks good without wheels as well. I say whatever set u choose u cant go wrong. I personally would opt for a profile set though and use any box rim for the windy days or when u come visit Cape Town So choose between Zip and Cosmic Carbone I love to see great taste like this in equipment! EXCELLENT STUFF!
WorcesterWheelers Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Thanks all. The bike rides like a DREAM!!! LOVE IT!!!Also have to agree......THE ZIPPS...... Now....can anyone out there phone the Mrs to tell her that the EXPENSIVE wheels look the best!!!...chicks are mos all about looks.....so she should understand? What's your Mrs' number.... I'll send her a nice big photo of the Bora's, pity you can't show her a picture of what they will look like on your bike, then it shoudl be a done deal!
WorcesterWheelers Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Spidey.... make me an offer I can't refuse...... Hey Worcester' date=' them Bora's in the market???[/quote'] My heart says no, but I'm contemplating building up a Race wheel with a Powertap, cause I really am enjoying the benefits of training with power and would love to get the power info from races too. Pity I cant build the Bora's onto a Powertap. But to be honest. it would have to be a SERIOUS offer for me to part company with my bora's. They are really awesome wheels!
Dr. Seuss Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 i have to go with 101% on this one - is the new bontrager not designed by HED? spidey - go with the ZIPP - weight wheenies has the carbone at 1821g (clincher) and the ZIPP at 1278 for the tubs - 1672 for the clincher. i also think that far more research went into designing the ZIPP than the mavic. PM me if you need some tips on how to get this by the wife - i bought 2 sets of wheels this past month (courtesy of 101%) and i am still alive to tell the tale! (anyone know how long arsenic takes to start kicking in?)
Chrissie Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Zipps... it's sure is a pretty bike with any wheels!!
snapshot Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Ek het al van die Bontragers vas gehou.. jy voel nie die wiel nie.. daars gee gewig limiet op hulle nie.. Man maar hulle is nice.. Net jammer ek het nie die geld vir hulle nie
IanJ Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Hey Spidey, nice bike (even if it's a Dale). Of course you know which wheels I would choose.
DRIVETRAIN Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Shoe!!!!! those wheels are to die for .... I like all of them really... "DT"
Pieter Henning Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Hey Uncle Phil - Lekker bike Ry jy elite in Bloem die naweek?
smallrebel Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 One of these will also look cool........ Think Fatty will second that.
Guest Big H Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Spinnekop, Terwyl jy nou die Bontragers gaan kry hoekom kry jy nie sommer 'n ordentelike groupset (Shimano of Sram) en 'n behoorlike frame (TREK Madonne) nie dan het jy mos nou 'n behoorlike fiets...... Grap net, geluk dit lyk wonderlik!!!!!

(anyone know how long arsenic takes to start kicking in?) Not so sure about the research thing, but you are right about the weight. The mavic cosmic carbone is a box rim with a carbon fairing, therefore heavier. I think it is stronger than the zipp but they are both great wheelsets, each having distinct advantages and disadvantages. It seems that the vote is swinging in favour fo the zipp so i say go for the zipp. I ride the cosmic carbone and can say they are great also. So it seems you can't go wrong so long as you limit your choice to either the zipp or mavic cosmic carbone
101% Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Mampara.....have to agre......Sorry 101%.....101%....are you doing the 6.9 Madone this coming season? WW.....that would SURE be nice to have a set of Bora's on the bike.....But I would hardly be able to afford the Insurance' date=' not to speak off the loan repayments!!!! [/quote'] Its ok!!! any wheels on that bike would look good. 6.9 madone will only be available here in the first quater of next year, so Ive opted for the sslx which is the one Lance rode( gonna get shot for that one!!). This model is being dicontinued for next year so we getting a very good deal on them, apparently the Boron carbon which its made from is very expensive and also very difficult to work with. ps. have you put it on a scale yet??? Im sure it must be around the 6.8kg mark!
Spinnekop Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 It looks like the majority says Zipps.....I like the Cosmics too. 101%....have not put the Bike on the scale.....my scale suck, so I will wait when I get to someone the has a decent one. tooHot. Thanks....yes, the two options will be Zipps or Cosmics (One day when I am BIG! )....and off course the Bora (One day when I am dead). Thinking of the Clinchers Zipps as I will be able to do the tube change myself.....
Velouria Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I like the WW suggestion - the Boras look nice. What is it you chaps do for a living - you seem to be paid FAR to much (ok - maybe it is just the jealousy talking...)
