Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Campagnolo Wheels

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows the weight for Campagnolo Proton wheels. I am looking into Campagnolo wheels, do any of you use them? do any of you have advice about campagnolo wheels? Compare campagnolo wheels to other brands? THANKS!

I have some Campy eurus 2 way fit wheels. LOVE the wheels, but they are NOT set up to run tubeless from the get go. They needed sealant and rim tape, even though they say they don't oh well. Wheels are truer than true, fast, light, just not tubeless like they said...

I have a set of Fulcrum 5's, made by Campagnolo. They're towards the bottom of the line of Fulcrum, but they've been rock solid work horse wheels for me on my old Flyte and now my Fuji.

I have two Eurus wheelsets. No problems with either. No rim tape on either. Tubeless on both. Rim tape does nothing on the 2-way fits. Unless you have a tiny hole in the rim, which is remotely possible, though highly unlikely.

I have a Proton front wheel on my winter bike that I got new on clearance around 2 years ago. Nothing remarkable about it really but it looks nice and the hub is very smooth. Generally Campagnolo wheels tend to be pretty durable if not all that competitive on weight.

Seriously old specs (circa 1998). Better the later versions were much lighter than that. We need more info.
