Campagnolo Scirocco wheels
Hi all,
I need some new wheels for training and Campagnolo Scirocco seems like good value for money (on paper anyway). Does anybody have any experience with these wheels, good or bad? My setup is Veloce 9sp. I had a pair of Campag wheels years ago and remember that tyres were very difficult to get on and off. Also the hubs were not well sealed and let water in very easily. Has Campag sorted that out yet? An alternative is Mavic Cosmos which gets very good reviews but then I'd have to buy a new (Shimano) cassette which makes the price a little less attractive - still good value though. I've considered having wheels built eg. Campag hubs with Open Pro rims, etc but I don't know of a good wheel builder in my area (I live in London) so I'd prefer to go with factory-built wheels. Thanks in advance, Craig. |

My setup is Veloce 9sp. Buy a pair of Daytona hubs, some Mavic Open Pro rims, and a fistful of spokes (DT 14/15/14 are good), and build yourself a set of wheels. It's very easy to do, and you'll end up with much better wheels than the factory built ones at a fraction of the price. I just built a new pair of race wheels for my bike, with Chorus hubs, 32 3X DT 14/15/14 spokes, and Silver Open Pro rims. Very sweet. My old race wheels (exactly the same, except 1998 Chorus with steel axles and Open 4 rims) are now my training wheels, having given many thousands of kilometres of trouble free service. Sheldon Browns website has a really good article on wheelbuilding. The most important thing to do is to get good (high) spoke tension, and stress relieve them properly. Regards, Suzy |
