So, i've been trying to find the ultimate daily tubular for years, and there aren't a lot of Neutron tubulars that come up for sale, most people who have them love them.
After putting a couple hundred km on a set of clincher Neutrons i can see why.
I imagine the Tubular is a couple grams lighter? Does anyone have a weight for it? The WW listings page is missing this classic wheel.

See http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listi ... roadwheels

Older Nucleon wheels are exactly the same as the newer Neutrons with the exception of silver instead of newer black spokes. EM3

Not that light, very durable wheel though. Problem is that if you need to get parts, get a mortgage as they'll cost a fortune. For daily riding tubs, why not build a pair up on Record hubs? They'll be far more easily serviceable and cost less in the long run.

Hi,

Parts? What parts?

I have two sets of those and have never needed any replacement part so far. All parts are still available, none costs a fortune. Not overhere anyhow.

As for the weight, officially it would be same as the current clincher version. I could weigh a set if you' like as one is currently sans tubulars so that would be easy to weigh.

The only alloy set from Campa I like even better and it's also lighter, is the old Eurus (tubular version) but you'd be hard pressed to find a set though.

Ciao, ;)

£40 for 6 spokes is a little pricey imo, compared to regular DT Competitions, on a wheel set that is going to be used daily.

I've replaced a fair few spokes on the neutrons around me. And yes, they are too costly, and for some dumb reason come in packs of left and right spokes. Obviously that means i've got about a million non-drive side spokes, and somewhere around -2 drive side spokes hanging around.
but otherwise the rest of the parts are the same as other campy hubs.
