campagnolo scirocco c17 clincher wheelset 2018

Wheelset is great. Arrived on time. Perfect training wheels. Downside is the hub isn't loud. or produces any sound at all. But other than that the wheels are great! Awesome steal deal.

Excellent value

Already had a Zonda wheelset on my Colnago, and really like the strength and look of the G3 spoke pattern, so got the Scirocco wheelset for my training bike. They perform and look just as good as the Zonda which are a good bit dearer. All my training is done on the hills and despite the wheels being heavier than the Zonda's they feel really strong and run very smooth.

Great set of wheels

Very happy with the purchase. Wheels were true out of the box. Had no problems fitting continental GP4000s and then Gatorskins to the rim. Noticeable difference in stiffness from my stock rims (DT Swiss R460). They have a pleasant humming sound when you get up to speed that's only barely noticeable. Like another review I've seen elsewhere this sound threw me off at first, but I've come to like it. I do a fair bit of climbing and I haven't found these to be detrimental in the least, but there is a noticeable improvement when going down hills. A friend I ride with frequently also has a set and previously I'd get dropped on the downhills, now I'm coasting beside him. All in all a great set of wheels for training.

Maybe the best budget semi-aero wheels available

I got these to replace some Ksyerium ssc SL wheels on a 20 year old titanium bike. They were transformative. For me, the aero profile is good for at least 1+ mph than usual, and that means I can keep up higher speeds on longer rides on flatter roads, which makes everything a lot more fun. The wheels came and remain true , stiff, and bombproof. They aren't light, but the weight has helped me build strength and be a stronger rider. Also, it should be noted that the rear hub made no noise for the first 300 miles or so, but then started ticking--maybe there was some viscous grease in there that needed some wearing in. They're a little slow on the climbs, and I live in a hilly/mountainous place. I would buy these again.

Great low budget wheels

I bought this wheelset to upgrade from my bike's stock wheels and the difference is huge! They roll verter, feel stiffer and the hub sound is great

UPDATE: Great wheels

Close to 3000miles on these wheels, excellent everyday training wheels! Well worth the investment. I think I may buy another set at this low price.

Awesome wheelset

I purchased these wheels back in August 2018. They arrived when I was on vacation and I couldn't wait to get them on my bike to check them out. They are a bit heavier than I expected but they are quite strong. I was riding in Illinois where the roads are mostly flat. Since then I have moved to San Antonio Texas and the roads here are somewhat hilly. The roads have way more friction on them too. I have been riding on chat roads and roads that are broken up and are bumpy. I was afraid that my wheels would not handle this rough environment. So, after a month of beating these wheels up on the rough and bumpy Texas roads they have handled it quite well. They are stiff enough going up the steep hills and the longer grade hills, too. They are strong wheels that can handle the downhills as well. The weight issue doesn't bother me. These are strong wheels and dependable. If I switch to 25mm tires they will probably even more comfy on these killer roads. I am looking to buy another pair at the low price they are going for now. Great training wheels and very durable!
