Campag Bullets 80mm

Pluke · 2014-11-12T12:06:10+00:00

Evening. This is going to be my biggest purchase for this bike. I currently have some Campag Scirocco 35mm wheels, I love the lacing of the G3. But now I want some new wheels, why you will ask, well these wheels are fine, but I want some more awro wheels, Campag Bullet 80mm infact. Why? All my reasons are " I want " not " need" but love the fact I could have carbon wheels, and more aero ones at that, the sound and the small increase in speed. My routes are flat, slight hills, but in Suffolk there very short! I do sportives also, I just love cycling once I started this year. I currently ride a Merida Ride 93 carbon, and my rides are 30-50 miles and cruise around 18-20mph, not really windy here so that's not much of a problem. There a massive purchase for me, so opinions? Thank you Luke

Evening.

This is going to be my biggest purchase for this bike.

I currently have some Campag Scirocco 35mm wheels, I love the lacing of the G3. But now I want some new wheels, why you will ask, well these wheels are fine, but I want some more awro wheels, Campag Bullet 80mm infact.

Why? All my reasons are ” I want ” not ” need” but love the fact I could have carbon wheels, and more aero ones at that, the sound and the small increase in speed.

My routes are flat, slight hills, but in Suffolk there very short! I do sportives also, I just love cycling once I started this year. I currently ride a Merida Ride 93 carbon, and my rides are 30-50 miles and cruise around 18-20mph, not really windy here so that’s not much of a problem.

There a massive purchase for me, so opinions?

I ride in Suffolk and there’s no chance I’d use 80mm deep wheels. I’d be pretty nervous about riding 50mm to be honest. Then again I’m quite light and the wind blows me around a fair bit.

Also you’ll be ‘that guy’ who rolls up to a sportive on 80mm deep wheels…

I have Scirocco CXs as my winter and crit wheels and have ridden Bullets in TTs. The only difference you’ll notice is the bullets are rubbish in the wind. 80mm is waaay too deep for everyday riding.
