Talk me out of these? or in to them :) mavic cosmic carbon ultimate

Road tubular is more dead than rim brakes! They’re super cool wheels, no doubt, but unless they’re nearly free, there’s so many better more modern options. “Aero” back then meant a narrow, straight wall that was absolutely brutal in any crosswind.
Most people I knew with tubs only race on them. You can’t exactly swap it out on the side of the road when you get a flat. They’re only really used in cyclocross these days, and even there, tubeless options are close to making them a hard sell. I’m down to one set and have no plans for more wheels if/when I kill these
