Campagnolo Bullets

[dana_e]

What do you guys think of these wheels?

[ultraman6970]

I have used campy wheels and are pretty strong. Wish those for sale where tubulars :)

[Grant McLean]

Sort of like zip 404's.

If you're looking for a high profile wheelset that is clincher, and with an aluminum
brake track, they are the ticket. Campagnolo quality, great hubs, and all
around good stuff... just not super light.

I like my Campy wheels.

I would not get Bullets unless the garrish graphics can be removed. Fugly. That pretty much goes for all carbon wheels these days.

The "dark label" version isn't too bad

Not too bad?? those wheels are sick nice!

I am hot for these and the Red Wings

New bikes and wheels look like cartons to me, too much graphics all around

Actually the Zondas or Fulcrum racing 3s are a cheaper and lighter way to go

But I want to buy some speed. It is fairly flat and windy here.

It likes to put the hurt on the others.

Eventually carbon rims will be standard and a whole lot cheaper.

just build your own or have handbuilt carbons

Was looking at these. Zipp 404 FC seems to be lighter and more aero but of course come with a higher price tag.

I believe they are tubeless compatible, not just clincher. Maybe you don't care but I have been riding tubeless road since the first set of dura ace wheels came out and am sold on the comfort and performance of tubeless. Fewer flats is just a bonus. I would also consider the aluminum braking surface on these wheels a plus as well. Going fast is nice but so is stopping.

If I had the money I would buy a pair of these or the Fulcrum aero road tubeless, which are pretty much the same wheels. I also looked at a pair of Giant aero road wheels that are "tubeless compatible" - however, the rim bed has spoke holes in it so you have to use tape and sealant.

Yeah, I'm a bigger fan of the Fulrum 2:1 rear spoke pattern that looks 'normal'
compared to Campagnolo's G3.

So, the Bullets seem cost effective, but somewhat heavy.

Anyone here ride them yet?

I've been riding the shimano C50 clincher, basically an identical wheel
with the same profile, same weight. Compared to mid and low profile
wheels that are lighter and less stiff, the higher profile seems to 'roll'
well at +20 mph, but they do wander around a bit in crosswinds.

Not as comfortable on choppy roads with 23mm tires, i've taken to riding
my other c24 wheels with 25mm tires, making the most of the variety of two
pairs of different wheels. Definitely use latex tubes.

I like Neutrons because they are basic and work well. But, I got a set of Neutron Ultras last year and those things purr when going downhill.

[dana_e]

are really nice actually, witht he alu axle and adjustable bearings.

I think deep dish also has it's place

The Shimano 50 deep are quite nice and yes aboutthe same weight.

Sure would not mind either, but run Campy

[UKBROOKLYN]

I have a set of Neutrons.. No crazy spoke patterns and they are way the smoothest wheels I have ever ridden on.. Campy make nice wheels.. Comfy on the flat and sideways stiff on the downhill..

The 2 Way model:

I ride C50s on my Litespeed and Ksyrium SLs on my campy bike. Compared to full carbon 404s the C50s feel "bombproof." Been looking to pick up some aero wheels that I can ride with impunity on the mean streets of SoCal. Looks like Bullets are a good option as they seem to be the Campy analogue to the C50s. Great prices across the pond as well.

[dana_e]

Yeah these look nice.

In my home town, aero trumps weight, and these look like a good option.
