    Well i picked them up second hand and am hoping to go racing next year so i said i would try them out. I know Zipps and other brands are better but if i think i will ever need them im future i will upgrade but i think the cosmics will be fine for me for now.

    well they wont go to waste you can use them with your regular training wheels anyways

    if you are thinking of getting those continental ones the 700x20-25 race 28 ones are the size you need for the cosmics (just in case you are not sure!)

    Cheers.

    No harm to have the tubes hanging around for spares anyway. They wont go to waste.

    They are built on novatec hubs ,

    I'm no expert on wheels or anything but the chinese wheels are lighter , need less energy to maintain the same speed and are a little faster ie. higher ave kph over same route .
