Wanted: Campagnolo Shamal Rim..?

Posted on
  • I'm looking for a campy rear wheel or just the rim to build up. Anyone got one or know where i could buy one. Shamal seem hard to come by??

  • not really hard. remember last year kilgore trout picked a clincher track pair for £150, bastard!

  • I didn't even know they did track shamal's in clincher...

  • try roberto he's always got a pair on the go

  • I didn't even know they did track shamal's in clincher...

    so thats why i've never seen another pair, just tubs. must of been rebuilt?!? remember checking them out during the film festival last year.

    i can get a road bike with the clinchers

  • The original Shamals are Ok for the track (I have been lent pairs for major events) but they have a reputation for not being good with sideways flex (road cornering) i.e. they collapse! not sure how a rebuilt rim wold perform....

    have to say when I have ridden them, they were silky smooth, if slow to accelerate.

  • I had one Shamal clincher actually, but 12h so not that good for everyday use...

    I do have a Vento deep section rim, 20h, clincher- £30 - any good?

  • I didn't notice any difference when switching my front on my "beater" to a 16-spoke Shamal... except the bling-factor went up by about 300% :) now i just need to figure out what rim to use when building up a rear to go with it.. Have been thinking about the "bright silver" Deep V or Mavic CPX 14 polished.. I don't know if a "bright silver" Deep V would have about the same polished surface as the Shamal though.

    That pair at the BFF last year was a pair of tubs but with Gatorskins.

    Any suggestions on a compatible hub?

    Royce, customable holes! and Sapim spokes . . .

  • Sorry the Vento rim has been sold!

    I do have another one, NOS, 16h, but it's 650c (clincher as well)
