I feel daft asking this but is there a specific way to clean Mavic Cosmic Carbone wheels?

Reason I ask is that I'm worried water will make its way inside the rims.

Any advice gratefully recieved.

    If water can make it's way in then it'll find a way out!

    I presume you're never planning on riding them in the rain?

    Don't they have drainholes at the rim ?

    Just ensure that you rotate the wheels so the holes are down when you put it away wet

    I did a wet TT with mine last year and was astonished how heavy they were afterwards, and how much water came out

    +1

    Mine used to have nearly a glass full of water in each. The drain holes are not wholly effective so be careful that they are left at the lower edge and not covered by any logo's.
