wheelset advice.

Campagnolo zondas, best wheel on the market- at any price, wiggle have an amazing deal on them for £259. With shimano free hub

My racing 3's are light, strong, and have stayed true despite massive storms materializing over v my head. They're campy quality for less

Any Campag component gets you kudos from those in the know, if you would rather have the Zonda's no one will laugh.

If you use the Zonda though you will limit your choice of cassettes, expecially as ideally you want one the Miche ones that fit campag hubs but match shimano spacing and pattern.

Fulcrum is Campag, rather than one supplying the other, there is a lot a of rim and hub sharing in the wheel game, but I can't think of a big brand that buys whole wheelsets from someone else.

Have you considered handbuilt wheels?

They are much the some money as factory wheels and if you get to know the builder, you usually get free adjustment for life.

Usual think with handbuilt is to put a few undred miles on them, go back for a coffee and get them re-trued, as by that time they are fully bedded in.

"Also, would I be shot for having Campy wheels on a shimano shod bicycle?"

If you want Campy wheels on a Shimano shod bike, then get the Fulcrum's. The Fulcrum company was set up by Campagnola for that very reason. I can't compare the other wheels but have the racing 3's and they seem bullet proof.
