• I saw these and the cost and weight seem pretty good.
    I asked @Dick for his opinion and he just told me that fulcrum are campagnolo and therefore not to bother.
    So no, I have no idea but I'm sure they're good wheels, unless the spokes require a weird tool? Are they normal nipples?

  • That statement is actually completely erroneous - the summation that because they're Campagnolo not to bother was never uttered - it was merely an observation the Fulcrum = Campagnolo.
    The higher end fulcpagnolo wheel sets are very good, the lower end seem expensive when you compare stats, plus, being someone who generally will only buy lower end wheels second hand, you don't see many fulcpagnolo wheels going second hand, cheap, whereas you can pick up a pair of Ksyriums for £100 which hit the nail on the head for a good spec winter training wheel that will take all the shit you can throw at it until there's no brake track left.

  • OTOH I had 2 consecutive sets of Mavic wheels (Askium then Ksyrium) that gave me nothing but hassle - broken spokes and grinding freehub despite repeated servicing (from different mechanics!)

    I've been running Campag Zonda for around 5000km now and they've been utterly solid.
