    Hi All

    I hope someone can help i want to get a pair of custom alloy tubs for racing as the roads are in such S@it that my Zipps never leave the wheel bags and i really dont like racing on clinchers.

    The only thing i know what i want is i want to run Campagnolo Hubs.

    Wheelsmith do a custom pair of Ambrosio Nemesis Tubs with Record hubs.

    These are the wheel of choice for most pros during Paris Roubaix

    Any competent wheelbuilder should be able to knock you up a set, but if you're shopping online, wheelsmith have the usual rims (e.g. Ambrosio Nemesis) with the option of Record hubs. Lead time won't be quick though.

    edit: ^^ wot he said

    These might fit the bill, 1310g !! Not a bad price either, they will build with any hub you want, Record would be cheaper.

    Failing that why not Campag Shamal Tubulars or Fulcrum equivalent, rock solid similar money.

    If you want to price things up locally (to Tralee) you could do a lot worse than seeing what Anthony in O'Hallorans could put together for you - he's a great wheelbuilder, the only question would be the lead time on them
