Campy Carbon Wheels?

[bob heinatz]

I have finally decided in a few months to purchased my first set of carbon wheels. I have looked at the high end (enve, zipp) and most mid price wheels and came across Campy’s Bora Ultras and Bora One’s. Any feedback from owners? How do these compare with the likes of Enve and Zipp? I am open to any other options in a carbon rim. Btw I am a Campy guy but I never considered their wheels until now.

Boras. Even better find a set of Hyperons.

Bora. They are crazy nice. Well built. Look incredible and they will work well with Campagnolo perfectly.

Go with the Bora Ones.

Boras and Shamals are the bees knees. I ended up preferring Boras to Hyperons myself, but thats like saying Wonder Woman is hotter than She Ra.

Guess I can only add to the praise. Bora One's are really awesome wheels, quite light, very stiff, comfortable, brakes well and just rolls forever. Bonus doesn't cost a fortune. Bora Ultra is a real step up, but hard to justify the cost difference.

Thanks everyone. It seems that Campy has a winner in the Ultra and the Ones. That will be my next decision Ultra’s or One’s.

Ultras if you need to have "the best" and have the budget to spend.

Ones are the best value in carbon clincher IMHO...brake great and roll forever.

I have the money for the ultras, I buy the ones, or their sisters in Fulcrum. I like the fulcrum spoke pattern a bit better.
great wheels either way.

Bora 50 clinchers

When looking around you will notice the AC3 model. All this is an "improvement" in wet weather braking. If you don't ride in the rain go for the non AC3. Also super easy to service. If treating yourself to your 1st set of carbon wheels go with the Ultra's. You won't have that feeling of wow these Ones are amazing I wonder how much better the Ultra's are.

Brake pads, go with the Campy black and red pads.

Between 35 and 50. If you are under 175lbs go with the 35 over 175 go with the 50. Enjoy that blissful coasting!

I loved my Boras. I highly recommend them. I had the 50mm version which is just as light as the 35, with more aero-ness. I experienced very little to no weathervaneing and no matter what your size I think your experience would be similar.
