Next Wheelset Advice - upgrade from Shamal Mille

[huck*this]

Great choice on the Bora 35. Campy makes one heck of a wheel as I'm sure you know. AS far as the Millie for the rainy rides I would take caution if you care about the black coating as I think the rain mixed with the road grime would wear that surface right off. I could be wrong though.

I have fulcrum zero nite c17 (fulcrum version of shamal Mille c17) and they are great wheels but I can’t tell that much difference from Neutrons (c15) so not sure you could tell difference between Mille c15 and c17 version.

One thing re newer Mille/ nite coating on c17 versions is that this version has an improved coating that has apparently fixed durability issues the original coating had - not sure if this is true and I’m not going out of my way to use wheels in wet/sandy conditions to test this.

I'm using rim brakes on roads or light gravel. So, no disk brakes. As far as clearance I'm using 28C vittoria tires on the C15 rims with no issue with the enve fork or the Campagnolo brakes. Going up to C17 or the wider belgium+ would I have to size down to the 25C tires?
First option is to get the same iShamal Mille C17 version.
The second is to get something hand built, like a Hed belgium+ with white industries T11 hubs, or CK hubs.
Third option is to get a second hand carbon wheelset, like zipp 303 or enve 3.4
Budget wise, would like to stay around $1K US or $1400 Canadian $.
Anyone that has experience with either of these wheels I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks, in advance!

Fulcrum Racing 0 carbon? same profile depth same hub different rim material.

FSE WHEELS

They're VERY good and underpriced... They're among the nicest wheels on the market right now but not many folks know about them yet.

More and more people are recommending FSE. It’s 50/50 with the bora one 35.
Planning a visit to the one shop in town that sells them.

I have the C15 shamal mille. Bought them from starbike when the price dropped a bit and because at the time it was not assured campag would continue the mille into the C17 width. great wheels.

always wondered C15 vs. C17 on that wheel so thanks for this thread.

I am also lucky enough to have bora one 35 (clincher). I cannot imagine a better carbon wheel (performance, price, weight) Enve would be $1k more....and for what? a few Bora One sets have come through the classifieds here. People want new things and let them go.
