Spares on Ebay...
Typically these come in weird hole counts at the rear (21 or 27 spokes) and occasionally even at the front which limits dramatically the choice of alternative rims.
Moreover, the spokes have a Campagnolo proprietary way to attach to a rim... the Eurus spokes are alloy and have a thread which is incompatible with standard nipples.
That said, maybe the 2005 vintage still had steel spokes with a standard thread? -

16 in the front (radial) 21 in the back (G3)
2005 is not that vintage :D And yes spokes are bladed with those weird nipples where you need a special tool to adjust them. bloody campy.

It's a write off then...
even if the new 2015 Eurus rims fitted, the cost of a pair of this would be higher than buying a new set of mid range wheels.
It's not just Campagnolo: Mavic, Fulcrum and to an extent even Shimano all use proprietary systems to attach a spoke to a rim in their mid to high range -

ebay them with the spokes, there will be someone out there with a good rim and missing the other bits

Spares Eurus rims are listed at around £110 each. There is a 21H rim at £90
Probably not worth re building, which is the same story with most factory wheels.

As above, I used to have a really nice collection of mid range wheel odds (usually fronts as most folk seem to wear their rears worse, guess from dirt + worn freehub tips the repair over the edge usually).
Mavic are probably the least bad in terms of parts back up, at least you stand SOME chance of getting something. Fulcrum/campag good luck, spesh/DT/Roval only odd spokes and freehubs could be had but their warranty guys would pretty much just send a new set of wheels out anyways (so long as receipt/original point of purchase etc) which was very good of them vs. competition.
Bontrager/trek stuff I would just send folk over the road to the main Trek shop, a few weeks later (I guess after they have failed to turn up whatever the part is) they'd be back asking about new wheels, shame as I think a lot of the bontrager stuff is quite good value (mid/deep section wheels?)
Need your advice fellow riders. I aquired Campagnolo Eurus Carbon wheelset. Which I believe is from 2005.
Good thing is the hubs and the spokes. Spins nicely and the condition is superb.
Bad part is rims, they are quite worn.
Spoke with condor, big shout out for them for being so helpful. But they told me that the rims are discontinued :( And with no current rims I can save the hubs and spokes.
Question. Is it worth saving hubs or should I stick everything to evilbay as a spares?
Trying to solve this as a biggest cheapskate as I can be :/
