Bikes: LOOK 595 Ultra/Campy Record 10Sp, restored Guerciotti/Campy C-Record 6 Sp, TIME RXR/Campy SR 11Sp, and Colnago C-60 with Campagnolo SR 11sp.

Campagnolo Hyperon Wheelset

These wheels simply rock my world. I bought a set of hardly used ones from someone in another forum. They came in as advertised, and at bout 1/3 of the original retail price, which in my opinion is the biggest downfall of these wheels. They simply accelerate well, feel strong and stiff, and yet are very comfortable. I have heard form some people in the past that every bike has a set of wheels that simply works best with it in terms of the best combo of comfort, acceleration, weight, stiffness, etc. I thought that was simply crap until today. My favorite wheels had been the Lightweight, but these are right up there too. They gave my LOOK 595 Ultra a feeling I had only experienced with the Nimble FLY wheels I had (to a lower degree thought).

Highly recommend them. However, I still think the biggest sore point to them is the retail price. Even at serious discount from places in the UK with free shipping and their extra 15% off in addition to their low price, their retail price is very hard to swallow.
