Alasdair McLellan replied to Lachlan's discussion Campagnolo Shamal Wheels"They share components. The hubs, spokes, front rim and skewers are shared parts, and the rear rim is a part manufactured with the same inter-spoke milling but with the spoke holes in a different spot.
Remember, Campagnolo own Fulcrum Wheels..."
"Just be having similar or same specifications or is there some actual sharing of the exact same components?"
Alasdair McLellan replied to Lachlan's discussion Campagnolo Shamal Wheels"They effectively ARE Fulcrum Zeros. The only difference is the lacing pattern on the rear."
"Actually I was refering to the modern version the same as per your link Chris"
Chris Sewell replied to Lachlan's discussion Campagnolo Shamal Wheels"Hmmm. Are you guys talking about a retro wheelset or the current offering here?

I thought they were a modern wheelset and have also been considering buying those or…"
Dstone replied to Lachlan's discussion Campagnolo Shamal Wheels"Excellent wheels. Became popular with the hipsters so the price went through the roof on them for a while. Have seen them fetch up to $800 a pair for some models!"
karsten.oelkers replied to Lachlan's discussion Campagnolo Shamal Wheels"Hey, iconic wheels. I have a rear wheel with 8 speed cassette. You could grab a bargain on that one."

durian rider replied to Lachlan's discussion Aero versus lightweight?"My bike is 11kg. Its not aero. I rode 200k yesterday and didnt get passed once. Ive riden Perth to the Tip of Cape York and only got passed by cars. ;)
Focus on proper bike fit, hydration and sufficient carbs and sleep. Bike weight and aero doesnt…"
"Thankyou everybody for your theories and opinions, all good input, will probably end up going for a lightweight "all-purpose" wheelset in this case. May even go for a custom hand built set, Gemma K helped me build a couple of sets…"
Sam Young replied to Lachlan's discussion Aero versus lightweight?"Thanks for that. I reckon that post just taught me a whole lot. I must admit I'd not looked into the effective power difference needed, and thought it was a more direct relationship. "
"Well I was only considering what I thought was the trickier, and IMO more interesting, half of the aero Vs light quandry.
But the weight issue is not as simple as it seems. For a start, if you are interested in the extra force needed on the pedals…"
Gus K replied to Lachlan's discussion Aero versus lightweight?"Use DT Swiss 465 rims, the same if not better then Open Pro. With some hubs mine came in at under 1500g and ultimately cheaper than a factory set."
