Default Campy Eurus Wheelset ?

Looking at either purchasing another set of Mavic Ksyrium SL's or Campy Eurus wheelset. I have ridden on a set of SL's for over 2 years w/ no problems. However, I'm building a new bike up and just want a change. Will the Eurus wheelset hold my 217 lbs? Are they very durable? I would appreciate any information.

Thanks,
Scuba Steve

I have the Campy Nuetrons in tubular and find them strong enough for me and I'm in the same weight range as you. I'm not directly familiar with the euros but you might want to check out the nuetrons also.

Talking Re: Campy Eurus Wheelset ?

Hell yeah. I have the Eurus wheel set and am very happy with them. My optimum body weight is 178-180lbs. I am now 215.....damn kids & knee op. I also have the Campy Nucleon's. I notice a little advantage in the Eurus wheelset on the flats going fast. They are comfortable but latterly stiff going into corners. Try them, I'm SURE you'll love them. The hubs are Record grade too!

I have trained and raced on Eurus. They are a great wheel. Stiff and strong, yet light enough for climbing.

Hi read your reviews regarding nucleon and eurus. Can you please give me major differences between the nucleon and eurus. I now own a nucleon and planning to sell it and get a eurus. Feedback is highly appreciated.

Eurus wheels are very strong, reliable & look great. You won't have any problems with them at that weight. I rode a set for 2 seasons at 250lbs.
