i'm curious as to why people of suggested the 35s instead of the 50s?
thanks
Bora 35 Ultra, Zipp 202, Zipp 303 or LW Meilenstein ??

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...
