That seems decent for the wheels, they are selling mine for £130

If you go for Shimano check whether they are compatible with your chainset - as far as I know (and I'm no expert!) you can't put a Campag wheel on a Shimano chainset or vice-versa - could just be a different cassette though.

I think two winters have killed my wheels, won't be using the road bike in the winter again

Nice wheels like that shouldn't be out on winter roads...

I rather like the basic Fulcrum Racing 7's tbh. tad more, but wonderfully stiff wheels that have stood up to everything I can throw at them and are still perfectly true!

you can put a shimano chainset on campag wheels. that's what I have, you just need a the campag wheels to be with a shimano hub which is usually an option you select when you buy them.

Thanks for clarifying, I just knew they were different (riders bring different wheels to the road race) but didn't know how.

Cowie brae is about only lump I can do on a short run route jamie has planned tomorrow has some small bumps, no real hills etc.... Planning going back towards Cleish and dunning Friday, Saturday off then dukes pass on Sundays sportive.

As much as I love my flat, I miss clackmannanshire for its bumps.

Small bumps yes and one has a 15% ramp

Defo not, hybrid only from now on

I do need atleast 1 new wheel though and the RS010 seem to fit the bill

I was looking at Fulcrums before I read this post. I'm not one to believe in predestination but...

Nice wheels, bit pricey though

What I really want is wheels that weigh nothing and provide infinite stiffness while smoothing out poor road surfaces. And since they weigh nothing they shouldn't cost anything.

Here you go:

You're totally welcome.

RS10 sounds like they could be doing away with/renaming R501. Sounds sensible at the price (and not 16/20 spoke count)

Yet to see you post a time on limkilns to a985 climb.....

Duly noted. https://app.strava.com/goals/segment/187298
Shame it's too short to log VAM, because that's how I pace myself on climbs these days.
