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

wheel profil (low vs medium)

What is the difference between low and medium profil?

I'm looking at campy ZONDA vs NEUTRON.

thanks

Weight, aero, stiffness. The lower ones have the weight. The deeper ones are stiffer and more aero. The aero difference is most likely insignificant.

I have Campag Shamal Ultras and can't really tell the difference in comfort between them and my traditional (32) spoked wheels. They sure accelerate nicely though.

I would go with the Zonda's and save your money over the neutrons.
