Cosmic Carbone vs Std. 32

[merckx]

I am trying to determine what the watt saving would be when using the Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL wheelset over a standard 32 spoke box rim wheelset at 40 kph. Does anyone have access to this information or know where to get it? I looked at Analytic Cycling and didn't see anything specific to this question. Thanks!

for the link, Zap. That was the kind of data I was looking for. However, I would still like to see similar data for a standard 32 spoke wheel for comparison.

Analytic Cycling can calculate it if you choose Zipp 404's in lieu of Carbones(aerodynamically they are very close). I came up with ~7 watts or ~47 seconds over 40K course when compared to std 19/20mm box 32s.

Was that for one wheel, or a pair? And thanks for figuring it out!

Pair.

Glad to help out :)
