Better more advanced features of the carbon wheelset with Bora sticker that I just bought
Wheels of Happiness

July 28, 2018
I compared the Cosmic 50 mm wheelset that I got 5 years ago that came with Fuji SL from VM with the recent acquisition that I got from an OEM supplier. It is a Bora Ultra copy and its features are:
1. Solid carbon construction. It has carbon brake line and pad (I had to replace the Shimano rubber lining with Basalt pads brown) The cosmic wheelset has only paper thin carbon cover 50 mm in width between the aluminum brake line and the spokes line. You can press the carbon cover of Cosmic and will be pressed down upon your touch
2. U shaped rim spokes line vs V shaped for Cosmic. According to the pitch this makes for better aerodynamics less dirty air and better crosswind performance.
3. 25 mm side rim vs 17 for Cosmic. Thus when you install 25 mm wide tires, the tires really look big and massive.
4. Nice authentic stickers.... Bora Ultra 2
5. Great looking carbon R36 hubs. Noisy too....
6. Lightweight. Mere 1.6 kg. (vs 1.4 kg for the orig) hehehe.
For me it was money well spent... Great looking with Pinarello F10 frameset
Carbon R 36 hubs, bladed black spokes
3k Weave glossy
U shaped spoke line
G3 lacing 21 spokes for the rear wheel
Ceramic Light Ultimate Technology (CLUT)
Carbon hub
Glossy 3k weave finish
Basalt Carbon pads (rubber pads of RS8000 replaced)
Puwede na 6 cm na interior pero may sapi na Mediplast
