Campagnolo wheels

[c2c]

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.

riding home after a night shift, battling a headwind and driving rain, i too recall thinking, if only these ambrosio wheels were more aerodynamic.....................whaaaaaaatever.......!!

The Zondas are very tough. I am 16 stone and I can't remember ever having to get mine trued. I was thinking more in terms of rim wear. A years commuting is enough to wear out most wheels.
