I need 2 additional rear wheels for Campagnolo 10 speed drive-trains. I would like to get at least
one deep "V" of 40 to 50 mm and the other just needs to be strong enough to train on for a 160
rider. The second wheel I would like to weigh no more than 1000 grams (or so).
I already have a Eurus, and I am really happy with it. Since I have had such great luck, I was
thinking of getting another "G3" wheel, either the Scirocco or the Zonda. I would get another Eurus,
but I would prefer to spend less than $300 USD and hopefully closer to $200. I have not seen any of
these wheels other than photos and I have no idea what to expect. Are either of these as strong or
stronger than the Eurus or are they just heavier? The Eurus has 21 spokes and I think the other 2
have 24 spoke. That leads me to the next candidate; the Proton is about the same price of the
Scirocco and has the same 24 spokes but are evenly distributed between drive and non drive. How is
that wheel? It is a tad lighter than the Scirocco and logic tells me that it can't be as strong. Any
testimonials or information would be greatly appreciated.
For the other wheel, I am looking at the Spinergy XAERO Carbon SS, the Tilium (both 45 mm rims) and
the slightly deeper (50mm) and lighter XLAB. I will likely get the clincher to get the superior
brake surface.
Any comments on any or all of the wheels would be greatly appreciated. I am pretty firm on the Campy
wheels as long as I don't hear any terrible stories and at least one of the two (Zonda or Scirocco)
is a good wheel, I think that will be great for me. I am not as confident in the carbon wheels. If I
don't hear anything to inspire confidence in them, I might look instead at the Rolf, Bontrager and
American Classic wheels.
Thanks in advance.
