Has anyone tried a set? It appears they have dropped 200g in weight. I was thinking of picking up some for a training/time trial wheel.
Feedback Please!

I bought a set a month ago, after dealing with countless broken spoke issues with Easton. I am 185, and am fairly strong. so far the Mavic Cosmic Elite's seem to be a great wheel. I just started racing this year, do lots of centuries, and am doing the RAIN ride in July. i bought these so I do not have to worry about breaking. They are not the lightest, but then again, the Eastons were light, and all they got me was a ton of grief. Go with the Mavic's. By the way I bought them because a friend has them, and has had no issues. I also like the updated graphics.

I have a set that's 10 years old and aside from the brake track starting to get kinda thin they've been pretty good wheels for the flats. I find they suck in the rain though. They fill up and don't drain well. So they get really heavy and you can hear a lot of sloshing around. Cool stuff. Maybe they've fixed this on the newer models, I don't know. Also, I switched the nipples on the drive side to brass cause alu sucks there. The spokes like twisting around to. Going from my exp, they're pretty durable wheels.
