Default zonda wheels weight

I am looking at purchasing a new set of campag zonda wheels, but i cant see anywhere if there are specs on rider weight (ie will i be too heavy for the wheels). i weigh 85 kilos and ride on relatively smooth roads...

any help will be appreciated

There are no rider weight limits published but at 187 pounds, you will be fine. These, in spite of their looks, are aluminum rims with stainless spokes and at 1600 grams, about what a set of handbuilts would be. I'm guessing there are no wheelbuilders around you that could design a wheelset specifically for you and your needs, that would probably cost less.

I weigh between 175 and 185 depending on how much tasty rubbish I've been devouring lately. Been riding Zondas for over two years, no problems at all. It's a nice wheelset, a good compromise between aero/stiff and comfortable ride.

One recommendation - ditch the stock Campy skewers, they weigh a ton. I grabbed a pair of Rolf titanium skewers on ebay for $25. Much lighter.
