Ride quality- Shamal, Neutron, Kysrium

Hi All,

I am looking to buy a new set of wheels for my Merlin build. I was originally set on Bora One 35's, but decided to stick with AL for now. I did a search and could not really answer my question.

I am set on buying one of the Campy models listed (Shamal or Neutron) so while there are many others to consider I would like to focus on these.

I will run 25mm tires for now and probably 28mm in the winter if they will fit.

My question is the relative ride quality between the Shamal Mille, Neutron Ultra, and Kysrium SSC SL.

My first Extralight had the SSC SL's and I thought they were too stiff. I put on a set of used Neutron Ultras and loved them!

I like the idea of improved braking in the rain so i am looking at the Shamal Mille and wondering how the ride compares to the Ultra's and SSC SL's?

I know they will be somewhat stiffer than the Neutrons as they are deeper. Will they be as harsh as the Kysriums?

I can't find the Mille in 2 way fit so should I consider Shamal Ultra 2 way fit and run them tubeless as an alternative for a softer ride?

Thanks!

ps- I weigh about 170lbs.
