Wheel set price ?

stackerman

Hi oh wise ones
Searching for a wheel set upgrade to the standard ones that came with the bike, Supra RA pro's
Seems to me that you can easily loose the run of yourself, and spend silly money, and not necessarily feel any advantage. I'm looking for a set which are a good alrounder, flat and hills, but may add a bit more comfort.
Came across these and this price, which seems good, although my Dutch ain't so hot lol

Campagnolo Neutron Ultra Clinchers also come in at a good price.

Has anyone any experience of these wheels and/or any thoughts on them, or indeed any better options ?
Or even looking to shift on an appropriate well set, that I may be interested in.

Thanks in advance

I have a pair of Fulcrum racing Zeros, they are a great wheel, well made, good bearings, light, comfortable and very strong.
That's a great price.
The Campagnolos are pretty much identical to the Racing Zeros.(Both are made by Campagnolo)
Again a great price.

If it's down to a choice between those two wheel sets, I would go for the Campagnolos, simply because they're cheaper.

Just to add, make sure the wheels you get are compatible with the rest of your group set.

I think I read somewhere that the Fulcrum Brand was Campagnolo's way of tapping into the Shimano Gear set/user market, without affecting their own brand, so basically Campy wheels, only Shimano compatible.

I'm open to correction here, but are the Racing Zeros not more equivalent to the Campy Shamal Ultras, which are above the Neutrons? In which case the price for the Zeros that the OP found is phenomenal!

I have a set of racing zeroes as well. I have hammered the ****e out of them in races for four years and they are still going strong. They have never gone out of true and they hardly flex at all. I have replaced the bearings a couple of times but they are super smooth. I paid about the same for them then but the model was a year or two old at the time (maybe these are a previous year's model too). The spoke lacing pattern is different on these but I assume they are the same bladed spokes that are on mine.

The Zeros certainly look like the Shamals on my bike. I had the Neutron Ultras, and then upgraded to the Shamals - for no good reason, really. I run Shimano Ultegra, incidentally, and there are no compatibility issues - you get the Shimano freehub, and away you go. Both are great wheels, and good enough to take from bike to bike with you. I love the look of the Zeros, and would, if I had the money to spare, go for those.

Sorry, you're quite right.
But, I'm confused now. What do the Neutrons equate to in Fulcrums.
And yes, great price for the Zeros.
