When I started road riding (about 2010) it was Campag/Fulcrum that were the highly regarded, reliable ‘fast’ factory wheels. I remember Zondas being recommended. I’ve never owned any but like the look.
There were still lots of (exploding, squeaking) Mavics and well regarded Shimano wheels too of course. Since, there’s been a trend towards hand build wheels with moneygun.gif hubs :)

Yeah, but Fulcrum. A pair of Quattro/4's is the same as a pair of Scirocco's, just with a different spoke pattern. And I still reckon more people are buying Mavic/Shimano/DT Swiss wheels over Fulcrum's.
The G3 pattern is okay with me now that I've had a couple of sets. Really grown on me. They just ride so well. Makes my White Industries / A23's seem like flexy boat anchors. Regret selling my Zonda's, but I'm okay with the acquisition of something deeper that aren't really that heavy, in comparison to other wheels I've ridden but more importantly, me.
