Although mentioned once or twice I don't think these have been discussed much on here. Anyone have experience of them? A wheelset is currently less than £1K in the sales, similar in price to the likes of Mavic Cosmic Carbon Pro Exalith which I'm considering.

The "thinking man's" Zipps, or just a marketing ploy?

Have you considered some Wheelsmith rims with aero dimples + Zipp stickers from ebay?

Do they still come with an angry Scotsman if you try to make a warranty claim?

Lol, I'm an angry Scotsman! Did consider Wheelsmith but choosing better hubs upped the price to more than I was comfortable with. Decided against the 302s due to the issues with Zipp hubs. If that's what happens to their more expensive offerings I'm not taking a chance on their entry level ones....

I've ordered Cosmic Exaliths today for a cracking price so I'm quite happy.
