I am after some advice please:
I am currently riding a Cannondale SuperSix Evo (2014) with stock Fulcrum 5’s , looking at upgrading these to campag zonda’s but is this worth the expense or any other suggestions ? I live on the yorks/lancs border so very hilly but cannot seem to justify any deep section carbon wheels.

Thank You!

I think you’ll have to shave off more than 100g before you’ll get an appreciable performance improvement based on weight, unless the climbs are very long which I doubt. But it’s all just a question of money. To me the upgrade does not seem worthwhile based on performance. However I own four decent sets of wheels and the biggest advantages in my view are:

1. I never fix a flat before a ride

2. I have different tyre and gearing selections ready to go in a minute

just switched to Conti GP4000 II and increased to 25mm and already feeling a benefit I was thinking that an upgrade of wheel might also help me improve climbing/speed etc . Incremental gains and all that?

Thanks

What’s the purpose of the upgrade? The weight savings is about 100g. I don’t think the Zondas will make you faster. They are not different enough from what you already have. Upgrading tyres might make more sense.
