zipp 202 tubular are the best carbon wheels i owned.
never had boras, but fulcrum rs 50 mm. hubs with cheap bearings, simple-made rims, quite heavy, all in all uninteresting, overpriced wheels.
conerning lws, i ask myself what they might be good for. to deep for use with a roadbike (esp. in mountain area), not consequent enough for tt. terrible aesthetics.

The 35's are more versatile vs the 50...
I have the Bora Ultra 35 on my F8... Would not want to miss them... just perfect.
Aero, light, cult bearings, looks are super sexy.... and no sidewind hits.

Before I had Zipp 404 FC... and even 808's.
Good wheels but other league vs the Campa's... IMHO
Since I had the Hyperion Ultra 2 with CULT I am sold to Campa...
So for me the choice is easy... Bora 35!

LW I never had...

hi

How about the ax lightness P38T?
this wheel is beautiful in every single way.
more light, more aero.
