Hello,

Looking to upgrade my wheelset. I already have the C24s in my carbon bike. Unfortunately this bike has Campy 10s groups and cannot use a C24 wheelset.

How does the Neutron Ultra compares to Dura Ace C24? Taking into consideration that the shamals are the top of the line in Campy aluminum wheels, how does the Neutron compares to the Shimanos's top aluminium wheelset the C24s?

Intended use weekend club rides and 200-300 audaxes

I cannot help you on the comparison, but I can offer some comments on the Neutrons as I have 2 sets - 1 early set and one Ultra set from 2010. Both with good mileage on and have held up well under my 200# bod.

I like them a lot. Very comfortable, they stay true. They are light. They use Campy's cup and cone bearings which seem to last almost for ever. Bladed stainless spokes are differential width on the rear which also uses an offset rim.

I like that they are NOT G3 spoking. I had a set of Zondas once and have to think that G3 requires a stiffer rim in order to work. At 1470 g they are Campy's second lightest alloy wheel, probably down to more spokes than Shamal.

I have a set and they are rock solid. Campy cup and cone bearings... need I say more?

Unfortunately, I can't give you a comparison since I haven't tried the Shimano.
