I'm not buying the black one anyway, my decision is between the white campa name logo and the white with stripes

have the white one with stripes - tis a thing of beauty

its on the tight side though.

also have the jersey olfahero posted - except i have the black and white one. few other campagnolo bits too - happy with all of them.

you expecting to be hit for import duty etc ??? price looks pretty good. am currently looking at a set of much more expensive wheels - these ones are similar to what i'm looking for, similar weight etc but seem a lot cheaper.

Duty is hard to avoid but sometimes you get lucky.

The wheelset has some great reviews / some ok reviews, they look great and weight is decent plus i didnt want the expense of carbon, but Sean at Soul is great to deal with so far.

The s2.0 wheelset comes in at 1330grams, not bad for $470 shipped.

its the s4, as you posted, that i'd be interested in. if i was hit for duty though it would bring the price up close to that of similar wheel-set i'm looking at from a more established crowd. nice looking wheels. i think in white would go well with my black bike....

does the weight include the skewers/quick releases ? cant find that info on the site.

Thanks.

savedbythebell · 24-08-2010 10:46PM

From reading other forums, the weight includes rimtape but not skewers.

Ive got these ordered for my Px at 44grams for the set.

Probikekit has been open all day with this jacket crying out to me, do I really need another jacket though, at £36 it's very tempting.

After being being berated on here about my attire, I have decided to take the plunge and go full lycra:

Unless you bought 50 boxes of them, you're barely even registering on the scale.
Please try harder

After a bit of poking around on the interweb, it appears I also need a lockring tool, a chain whip and some grease. Captain Obvious tells me that becoming a proper cycling person is a rather complicated and expensive business.
