for those probably looking for aero wheels on a budget- shimano has a new option!

given the ultegra hubs have a good reputation, and that the dura ace C50-CL was pretty popular while it was around, I’d like to see how these turn out…

$900 dollars for a wheel set that isnt that aero!?

Since when has price ever been proportional to wheel depth? Different wheels serve different purposes.

Looks like an older version of the Mavic Cosmics (alum)

You need cheap aero options in your wheel fleet as a company. I’ve worked at Bikeway Bicycles in NY for 9 years and it’s insane what people are paying to get “aero”. Some of its legit and some isn’t.

well yeah

there are training wheels for training, and there are deep wheels and discs for racing, and then there are uber light tubies for hill climbs

then theres a bunch of marketing crazyness :wink:
