Anyone have any experience with these FFWD wheels? Im mr campag but my canyon is stealth (i have the 35mm bora for everyday wheel)...

For me it wouldn't be worth the extra pounds without getting a better performing wheel.

DTswiss 240 hubs are not really superior to the campy ones, especially not to the ultra series which I favor over most hubs.

Quality wise I'd still go for the Bora's, altough the FFWD is a good set. Just my 2 cents.

The FFWD wheels are solid, but doesn't impress compared to the high end wheels. I can't be arsed with their DARC profiles that look aesthetically bad, too. But they are good from a price-point of view.

Sell your Bora and pay £230 extra in order to get a worst wheel. Why?

The F6Rs will be a bit more stable and a bit more aero but the Boras have better hubs and fewer spokes on the front (20 is at least two too many IMHO for a high end carbon wheel)

I have Boras and F4Rs so quite similar, overall I prefer Boras by a bit
