Campagnolo Wheels
Ok i want a wheelset for my Merida gross venus C7 wich u would have seen throught the posts, ok well it's a light bike so i want to keep it taht way. ok my ideal wheels set would b hyperon or bora but i don't have $4000 to spend. but for about$1000 what can i get that is good i mean i love teh wheels i have on there Campagnolo Record hubs with sapin 3 buttered spokes with Areo Head Off SET REAR RIM. i love the way Record hubs feel to hide u can out coast any 1 else and i'm not a big guy it's trhe hubs. so i was thinking eurus or zonda, proton or nurtrons all campagnolo wheels but what else is there for $700 to $1800 that works with Record 10 speed. By teh way not taht i would ever want to but u can order campagnolo wheels to work with shimaNO but u can't use shimaNO wheels in a Campagnolo bike.

Re: Campagnolo Wheels
I ride Campy Nuetron's. They are built w/ Record hubs, bladed spokes and are 9/10spd compatable. I posted a review of them under product reviews.

Campy. I just got the Neutrons, which are part of the climb dynamic series. Wonderful wheel. The Eurus is also great and actually looks a little cooler with the G3 spoking. It is their aero wheel, but I suspect it climbs well too.

I ride Hyperons (which are fabulous), but if I was going to go out and buy a new Campy clincher wheelset, I would opt for the Eurus. The Eurus wheelset weighs and costs almost exactly the same as the Neutron, but is a more aero wheel and has the G3 spoking system.

I have the Eurus, and I love it. It makes the bike feel 10 MPH faster. I also ride with record/open pros, and I can honestly say the Eurus feel better. Cant go wrong.

king-matt87 i know i am just being picky but can u please take a little more care with your spelling and grammar. Obviously there are shorthand words and stuff that u can use while on the computer but i think that u r the only person who spells "that" as "taht". Coming from Tasmania i would assume that your first language is english so please can u take some care as it is painful to read some (most) of your posts. There are non-english speaking members who do a better job than you do!!
BTW i would personally go for the Campag Eurus. To me they seem be the best value all-round wheelset. Light and aero (not areo). Not sure if they have buttered spokes as i usually save this for my toast in the morning, but i think that the blades do a pretty good job anyway. Also is there a reason that you have mentioned the Shimano wheels vs Campag wheels thing? u havent asked a question, you just made a statement, im not sure of the reason for this......never mind, and good luck with the wheels dude. |

You are so on the money. There is no comparison between the record/open pro build versus the Neutron or Eurus. either is significantly lighter and the difference in my ability to spin up on my Neutrons is incredible. I really wanted the Eurus, but came across such a deal on the Neutrons I had to take them.

I also have the Nuetrons in tubular, I got a great deal on mine also. I decided because they were the only ones available in tubular in my price range.

I went the clincher route. I used to ride on tubulars, I find todays clinchers are of such quality that it wasn't worth the hassle.

How about Bontrager Race X-Lite? I have them and I really like it.
On the other side, I must confess to you that I find the Mavic Ksyrium as the most appealing and tempting wheels out there.

I'd said "appealing and tempting", not that their are better, lighter, stronger or faster than any other. I think that coming from Mavic must be a good product, but I never have tried them. My comment comes only for the look, it’s a cool wheel.

I admit that they look cool, but the reviews I've gotten from mates aren't flattering. The freewheels are notoriously tight and the aluminium spokes fatigue rather rapidly and cost a bomb to replace. The wheelset isn't as smooth and fast a year after purchase.

Ok, please do not tell anyone. I have always been a supporter of mavic rims and campagnolo hubs (except when I used to ride Campagnolo Omega rims in the good old days). I have actually advised people on cyclingforums against 'boutique' wheelsets.
But.. I secretly lust after a set of Campagnolo wheels. Eurus and/or Neutron. But just how reliable are they? I noticed the recent review on cyclingnews.com, but I wonder how they would hold up in the long run? I am, unforunately, not quite as light as I would like to be... 86 kgs at the moment (and not all of it is rippling muscle... ok... please have pity and do not ask). How would a set of these wheels hold up under real world conditions, ridden on training rides (I do not race anymore)? I currently ride Mavic MA something rims with Campagnolo Chorus hubs and have NO complaints. An occasional trueing when I hit really rough stuff, but they are fine. I ride mainly on flat to rolling terrain, and my gut is obviously much more of an obstacle to improved performance than my equipment. I know that I do not NEED them, but would it be a waste of money (in the sense that they would spend more time in the LBS getting fixed/trued rather than riding)? Thanks for any advice. And sorry for the rambling!
