Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Mavic Cosmic Carbone 40 vs Performance Wheelhouse 45 (Zipps)

I'm looking to add a set of carbon clinchers to my BMC GF01 and I am in a bit of a pickle decideing between some local wheelset that are the same price. Both are similar depth and similar weight. I like the 45mm depth and the DT Swiss 350 hubs of the "zipps" but I also like the mavic brand, durability and potential resale of the mavic.

Which would you choose and why.

Mavic:
40mm Depth
1545g claimed
Mavic Hubs

Performance Wheelhouse 45:
45mm Depth
1575g claimed
DT Swiss 350 hubs

I'd probably go with the set from PB. Made in US by Zipp, known hub with the DT Swiss 350's. I've got a set of disc wheels made with the 350's, and find them smooth, and they spin up nicely. They did take a bit to get "broken in," but certainly less than 100 miles to have done so.

The Performance wheelset has quality hubs, and I haven’t seen anything bad about those hoops.

I will never recommend Mavic wheelsets to anyone.

How much are the wheelsets?
