Description
Description
The iconic Mavic Helium came out in 1995 or 1996, and was the company's first success into the pre-built wheel systems which mated a specific hub to a specific rim! They released the Cosmic a couple years earlier, which failed to catch on. There are some prominent mainstream cycling websites who claim thhe Helium was the first pre-built wheelset from anybody, which is patently false. We can't forget the Campagnolo Shamal from a few years before, or the Specialized Roval wheels from the 1980's! Regardless of historical claims, these paved the way for the Mavic Ksyrium & countless other complete wheelsets. These were ultralight at 1500 grams per the 1997 Mavic catalog.
Condition
Buttery smooth bearings and excellent overall cosmetic condition, but needs a true. These would rub the pads on moderately tightly set brakes, and have slight hops. Moderate brake track wear, and one section of vertical scratches in the track.

I'm always buying high end bikes, parts, accessories, memorabilia, etc. While I'm particularly seeking large piles of new old stock parts, used items in nice condition are welcome.
