Campagnolo wheels

[TimP]

Yes it's all tongue in cheek. I just find it amusing that the amount of noise from a freewheel is considered a significant differentiating factor./

In the early hours of the morning on lanes occupied solely by cyclists being able to run quietly makes it magic. It only takes a couple of campag hubs to ruin the atmosphere.

Aye!

Thankfully I have found a solution. My gears and levers are Campag but my hub and cassette are Shimano - they work perfectly together!

Campag 9 speed levers & Campag 10 speed rear mech + Simano 9 speed cassette = sweet shifting & stealthy running

Mixing kit...noooooo...oh heck....

Best bike - Dura Ace 7400 kit.....including seat post etc.....

Seat pin bolt...campag..why...the best you can get and the frame builder fitted it.

Pedals....ah.... Campag Record Carbon Looks....why...... Shimano only did the non-arc pedals and my knees did not agree with them......best other option, was of course the best other model.... and they match the frame - pearl white.... (PS they have never needed a service....)

I have a pair of Zondas, paid the princely sum of £265 last year from Parker's, (bet you can't get 'em that cheap now)

Love mine, really good, nice power transfer from the rear spoking configuration.

well as an engineer it has always been my understanding that noise is basically poor quality /poor tolerance construction which = heat and wear
Which is why I wouldn't buy Campag or a Fiat

Oh you'll be shot.......

From what I've heard, the Zondas are far better value for money than the Eurus as they perform as well if not better. I think the only real difference from last year's model (pre-2 way fit) was the width of the spokes.

just waiting for the flak..

Yes, but you're supposed to be pedalling. Get some Campag track hubs and go fixed! Lazy Shimano users!

..........and silence is often an indication that something isn't working!

I have a pair of campag record hubs. They are fixed.

Mind you, campag is still an improvement upon Hope in the hub volume stakes.

Deaf Shimano users you mean

Funny that, I run both, and haven't noticed.

Zondas are fantastic wheels but aren't they a bit expensive to commute on?

Assuming you've got a long commute worthy of such high end parts and you do it in all weathers, then you'll be lucky to get a years use out of them. That works out at about £1 a day.

I think the Zondas are tough enough to last more than a year of heavy use unless you are a 16+ stone hulk on very bad roads.
Dont know about other users ,but I dont commute on the Zondas. I wouldnt call them high and wheels though ,just good training/ general riding wheels, I dont see many racers or TT riders using them.The good points of the Zondas are they spin up quick with good power transfer but their claim of good aerodynamics is questionable,I can feel drag when the wind whistles through them more so than previous wheels despite the semi deep rim on the rear wheel,good climbing wheels though due to reasonable lightness and that power transfer.
