Current Projects chat and miscellany

I would just like to take a moment to talk about Fulcrum's new 2013 Racing 3 wheel set: I got them just before the RotFL and have put about 200k on them so far but they are:

based on campag's zonda wheelset
1550g
24mm front, 30mm rear
stiff as hell (i've had brake rub on all my wheel sets but these refuse to budge)
smooth ride (esp with open corsas)
dont catch a side wind but cut the wind enough to beat my previous speed record on 50mm tubs @ 89kph
look great

obligatory picture on the bike:

couldn't be happier, would certainly recommend. The only downside is that they now use a thicker seal so the unusually noisy, yet entirely traditional campagnolo hub sound is quelled somewhat.

Nice wheels. Nice bike. I'd prefer a campag group but otherwise it's all good. I've been considering a set of R3 wheels. I think you might have just pushed me over the edge!
