Looks like Campy is getting in on the tubeless action...

2-Way Fit is the big Campagnolo success on the wheel market for 2009!

This is why we have decided to expand the offer dedicated to the dual option tubeless/standard clincher and to introduce, for 2010, the new Zonda 2-Way Fit.

With this decision, Campagnolo confirms its policy of providing our customers with the absolute best in any condition. In fact, thanks to the 2-Way Fit™ profile, it is possible to take advantage of both the tubeless and conventional tire technologies: performance, comfort, and road holding with the former, practicality and economy for the latter.

The Zondas seem smart to me, cheaper than the Eurus, and steel spokes are more aero. I have the ones with the 30mm rimn and no cutaway between spokes, they are fast. faster than the protons.

How are the hubs smoother? ::


Campagnolo have released details of their 2010 Zonda road wheels, which will weigh just 1,580g a set and have '2-Way Fit' rims which can take both tubeless and clincher tyres.

To save weight, the thickness of the rim extrusion has been reduced and excess aluminium has been shaved off between the spokes.

The stainless steel aero spokes feature differentiated thicknesses and differ in size depending on their function.

The radial front wheel and left-hand side of the rear wheel – which is less subject to stress –have 2.2/2/1.5/2mm spokes, while the cassette side – where the spokes have to bear the maximum load – has 2/1.8/2mm.

The Zonda 2-Way Fit also features a new anti-rolling system designed to keep the spokes (16 front, 21 rear) in the ideal aerodynamic position, and the hubs have been redesigned to be smoother. The front rim is 24mm high and the rear is 30mm.

So they're not jumping on the carbon spoke bandwagon? :confused:

Wonder why.
