CQY2015

Looking for a wheelset in perfect working order.
Clincher - Shimano compatible, rim brake
My budget would be 500-800 euro
Thanks

Would something like the following be of interest?

Ignore the 2019 bit. I think mine (new/unused) are probably 17/18, maybe even 16!

CQY2015

Can you send on a couple of pictures of them?
thanks

I have a pair of Vision Metron SL40s that I was going to put up for sale. They're nearly new and have tiny mileage with no marks at all. They currently have Conti GP4000 tyres on them. They have Campag freehub but new Shimano replacement is around €35

There's one in an earlier post. There on my BMC which hasn't been used since ht enew groupset went on last year. I'm looking for €850 firm as they are as new with tiny mileage. They're on hold until tomorrow as I have someone that is interested and they'll get back to me.

OK, so who knew Tinypic was gone? Not me!

Hopefully this link will work...

I have two sets of these. Mavic had a bit of a habit of changing wheel names, so originally the were the Cosmic SLE and then named the Pro Carbon Exalith. They might even have a newer name for 2021.

The Decals are different

For the record, the Exalith braking system is exceptionally good. I have it on another wheel set.

That's a standard Canyon/Mavic "pie plate"
Pretty standard on a lot of bikes. It is a brand new wheel, thus I never removed it.

Nice alright, I'm Mulling over the Mavic cosmos , the vision metrons 40 SL and a pair of zipp 302's . Waiting for a bus and 3 come along
Definitely buy one of the sets.

Current travel restrictions come into play though, one set of wheels look like they are within 5km especially if we meet in Tymon park.
One set is in Kilkenny
One set in Naas
Carbon wheels need to be handled and visually checked.

Details on the wheels please Unknown Soldier.

I can do Tymon, as I am Firhouse/Knocklyon. If I said Ballycullen would that mean anything? :pac: I can also do even higher end wheels. :eek:

The SLEs are as follows.

The Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLE Wheelset blends optimal aerodynamic efficiency and stiffness for no sacrifice in weight. Proven carbon and aluminium rim technology for the clincher is improved by Exalith 2 technology, incredibly light spokes and ultra-smooth hubs. – A.D.

Key Features:

Exalith 2 - High braking performance. The Mavic exclusive Exalith 2 technology for aluminium rims has been refined to provide a very high level of durability and braking performance in all weather conditions.
ISM - Inter Spoke Milling. An exclusive Mavic patented concept, ISM involves the machining of the lower bridge of the rim between each spoke hole to create a light and rigid rim without reducing the durability of the rim.
GripLink - Grip and control. A front tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel’s ability to hold the ground and control the bike. Therefore, GripLink tyres are optimized for front use, by offering a superior grip and extra puncture protection.
PowerLink - Low rolling resistance. A rear tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel’s ability to transfer power and generate speed. Therefore, PowerLink tyres are optimized for rear wheel use, by minimizing the rolling resistance.
FTS-L - Force Transfer System Light. Reinforcement of key transmission components: the contact area between the pawl and the hub body is reinforced by 2 stainless steel inserts, which allows the use of a 100% aluminium hub body.
QRM+ - Qualité de Roulements Mavic + is Mavic’s most demanding level. Those cartridge bearings are of course double sealed with C3 internal clearance and a micro-adjustability system.
Maxtal - Light and strong. Exclusive to Mavic, this specific aluminium alloy offers a higher strength to weight ratio than conventional 6106 alloy.
SUP - Stronger and smoother joint. Soudé Usiné Process. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.

As for the other set...

MAVIC COSMIC PRO CARBONE EXALITH
Mavic's Cosmic Pro Carbone Exalith Wheelset 2016 is designed to provide riders with an everyday wheelset with the best balance of aerodynamics and lightness, not to mention the superb FTS-L freehub and Exalith 2 braking track.

Constructed from a combination of Maxtal and 12K carbon fibre, the 52 millimetre deep rims have been packed with ISM to reduce weight and inertia without sacrificing stability and resilience.

Mavic's Exalith 2 braking track is what really hammers home this wheelset's everyday usage as the reinforced aluminium track allows you to brake with more confidence thanks to the predictable and weatherproof surface.

In the rear hub Mavic's Force Transfer System Light reinforces key transmission components for faster and stronger engagement as well as a balanced spread of the power transfer over the hub's entire body.

Qualité de Roulements Mavic bearings in the front and rear hub have been cartridge sealed with C3 internal clearance and a micro-adjustability system, which allows you or your mechanic to dail in the perfect rolling speed.

Mavic's Yksion Griplink tyre on the front and Powerlink tyre on the rear combine to provide you with supreme grip, manoeuvrability and power transfer.

Finishing off this superb wheelset are the striking Cosmic graphics and head-turning carbon weave rim pattern that is sure to have your ride mates gushing.

Includes:

BR601 quick releases
Rim tape
Multifunction adjustment wrench
User guide
Yksion Griplink tyre on the front
Powerlink tyre on the rear

Yeah Ballycullen is probably within my 5km, I'm just in Kilnamanagh close enough to CSS.
What are the higher end wheels alluded to ?

Unknown Soldier

OK,

I am looking for 800e per set of Cosmics Exalith wheels, that pains me

They are both the same bar the name, and "brand new", in the unused sense.

I and my work place/home are in your 5km

I have a few Reynolds wheels too.

These are used, I did about <200km on them. Not even broken in tbh
Reynolds 46 Aero, Reynolds answer to the Zipp 303 and Enve 3.4

https://www.cyclist.co.uk/reviews/532/reynolds-46-aero-review

Sadly the Reynoldscycling.com is gone but this set of wheels have some weird witchcraft going one. the DET thing. Once you hit 30kph then..

DET.

DET™ smooths turbulent, excited, energized airflow and re-attaches it to the aerodynamic surface, effectively reducing aerodynamic drag. DET™ is Reynolds’ superior aerodynamic technology used on RZR 92 and all AERO wheels.

"What all the wheels share is the Dispersive Effect Termination concept that underpins the characteristic shape. The Aero range wheels are wide at the brake track, stay wide until their midpoint, then taper in to a narrow point at the spoke bed. Reynolds say that this hybrid shape and the exact taper gives excellent aerodynamic performance in terms of both speed and stability."

What price for the Reynolds wheelset ?

They would be 900e. They were retailing at 2,000 GPB when I got my hands on them.

Would it be possible to view the Reynolds . More interested in those, currently have a set of Zipp 302 in a basket and just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Heading out for a spin shortly so I'll check this later to see how you are fixed, we have already established we are within 5km of each other.

That shouldn't be an issue!
