Which are best wheels from this list?

[BigAl68]

I agree and have thought of swapping them around lol

Argh they seem hard to find in Shimano fitment for good price.

What's the lowest I should expect?

Wish Ribble did the Shimano version, could get them for £220 then!

 

[vickster]

Wiggle had them for £212 a week or two back Unsurprisingly, they sold out fast!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I always seem to be a bit behind on deals like that!

Think was discussed here - which is perhaps worth a read if you are lookint to buy

CRC have for £277 wiith Shimano...can get a little off with Quidco

Get Evans to price match and have free fitting

There's £40 off a £200 spend at Wiggle presently. The Shimano fit Zonda's out of stock again unfortunately.

Was tempted to buy a second set of Zonda's and then return them on the first order receipt to get the £40 saving. Only bought mine less than a month back. I doubt Wiggle would match if I just asked?

 

[vickster]

No, they'll only match if you could return the item unused. They give a voucher code in such a situation, I've done it before. CRC are less generous

 

[BigAl68]

They certainly seem to go out of stock quickly.

All the advice I've read on here is that a Campag cassette works fine with a Shimano SIS gear set...

What?

All the advice I've read on here is that a Campag cassette works fine with a Shimano SIS gear set...

 

[Cyclist33]

obviously! But assuming the right number of cogs, people run them okay...

 

[Cyclist33]

As an example, the cogs on a Shimano 9 speed cassette are about 2mm closer together than on a Campag one. It won't index properly if you just put one on the other.

People do, though. Just saying. They would just need to be properly indexed using the cabling, limiters etc.

 

[Cyclist33]

That is the problem, the indexing doesn't match properly.

I do hear you and for what it's worth all my bikes are Shimano through and through, but nonetheless people do run Campag cassettes on otherwise Shimano drivetrains without a problem. To be honest I suspect it's very rare in amateur cycling that a bike is 100% properly indexed for any substantial period of time, owing to cable stretch, wear of components etc... so the odd mm in the cog spacing can be tuned out without making the bike any worse. If your limiter screws are set fair and the cabling is tensioned according to the cassette it would be an excuse not to ride the thing!

And to make sure people get it right

The wheels are called campagnolo zondas, they are made by campagnolo, but they come with a shimano freehub or a campag freehub. The fulcrums are also made by campagnolo but are badged fulcrums to appease the shimano crowd that dont like campagnolo. Oh and they add a little bit onto the fulcrums in terms of pounds.

Fulcrum 3's and zondas are virtually identical, but fulcrums cost more

 

[vickster]

I think the discussion started because wiggle who had a deal on have sold out of the shimano free hub version
