Campag Zondas v Ksyrium Elites

    Looking to upgrade the wheels on my road bike. Torn between the Campag Zondas and the Mavic Ksyrium Elites.

    The Ksyriums are good value here

    The Zondas seem to be going for €329 on the same site.

    I was speaking to the guy in my LBS, and he recommended the Zondas. He said they were a bit stiffer and don't rub off the brakes as much (I'm 90kgs weight).

    Given the costs above, what would people recommend?

    Also, anyone know the diff between the standard clincher Zondas and the "2-way fit" Zondas? Couldn't figure that out and it seems to effect the cost quite considerably. 2-way just a tubular that can take a standard tube also?

    I'd go for the Zondas - best wheel for the money.

    2 way fit will take tubeless tires (specific open tyres which do not require tubes) as well as normal tire and tube combinations. They do not take tubulars.

    For 2 way? I don't think so

    €412 is the price for a new set of 2 ways, €329 is for the cheaper set.

    Ah right, going to go with the cheaper ones anyway. 2-way, not something I'm pushed about. Thanks anyway

    I've had Ksyrium Elites for over a year and I've never had any brake rub at all and I'm 95kg. They're still perfectly true also.
