Some Mavic Cosmic Carbone wheels have just arrived that I bought from ebay. I am suspicious that they are not all that they should be. Nowhere on the wheels does it have Mavic markings, only the cosmic sticker. The carbon aero portion is actually soft plastic that can be pinched together with your fingers. It looks like some other stickers have been removed from the plastic aero portion as well. The front has a Shimano skewer and weighs 1.2 kg with tyre and tube.
They came in pretty authentic looking Mavic wheel bags.
Are these fake or is this how they are??
The seller reckons he bought them for £450 off a mate who had restickered them. Reckons they cam off a £2000 bike.
