Ambrosio Nemesis - Black or Tan?
Moderator: robbosmans
Just ordered a set of classic tubular wheels:
Ambrosio Nemesis Rims
Royce Hubs
Royce Skewers
Silver Sapim Spokes
Very classic, although they will be going on a black Cervelo.
I have narrowed the tyre choice down to Veloflex Roubaix (tan wall) or Arenberg (black wall). Identical in every other respect.
I keep hovering over the buy button on both.
Help!

Tires won't last forever, give the gumwall a go and then try the black when they wear out to compare the look and feel.
Both look good on my cervelo, but it really changes the overall look.

I am sorry to say, but "classic" is Nemesis laced to Record hubs
I would choose Black spokes and Black tires. If silver spokes, then ... I wouldn't choose silver spokes.

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that

I think you picked an incredibly classy and cool combination. Royce hubs are sort of a halo item for me and something only the most discerning cyclists ride. Well done
I would go for gumwalls, but I think either is a good choice. Please post back here with your first impressions of the wheelset and a long term review once the hubs have bedded in!
Best,

If I could find NOS 2005 silver Record hubs I would probably go for them, but Royce are a worthy alternative. Silver all round is definitely the timeless option!
Royce have a fantastic reputation.
The other wheels that I run on this particular bike are Lightweight Meilenstein Obermayers, so at the opposite end of the scale really.

Royce hubs are ace. Got a pair of custom royce hubs and oh my they cost more than my car but my car cost £500.
Yes they last forever too. I would say ride them into the ground but you might ride yourself into the ground first.
