Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon 2017

Worth £660 for a new wheelset? Anything i should be worried about or would i be better off looking at something else.
Currently have Cosmic Elites which have been fine, went out of true once other than that pretty good.
Fancy an upgrade and a bit of bling.
Cheers

Excellent wheelset, assuming you mean the SL C clinchers? I've been running them for 9 months and they're a superb all-rounder IMO. Often overlooked in the rush to Zipp et al, and wrongly so.

More importantly they look good

For £660 that's an absolute steal.

Apart from the obvious advantage an alloy rim with carbon faring will have on wet weather braking, I'm struggling to think of a reason I'd buy the Cosmic Carbon Pro's nowadays.They look good, but for not much more money you are either on top end alloy wheels, or better full carbon wheels. You can get CRC/Wiggle Prime carbon wheels for a bit less, and save a couple of hundred grams, or Wheelsmith carbon wheels for not much more, with a wider and lighter rim.

Out of interest, where are you seeing them for that much?
