Hi all, I'm going to get myself a pair of campagnolo bora one 50 wheelset, none AC3 version (2018)..i curious how can tell the WH15 wheelset mode year..whether is 2015/2016/2017..i intend to get 2017 of course, and 2015/2016 model year is kind of old for me..so how can i make sure the wheelset is 2017..? thanks all
...2015-17 Bora wheels are all IDENTICAL, and as u note the new AC3 brake track appears to be only difference on 2018 model. Here is thread with interesting history on Bora wheels beginning with 2015 model.

One major thing to look for with pre-2018 bora ones is rim width. The rims got fatter only in the past few years - I think around 2015 or 16 - to the 24mm width. It was 20mm or close to that before. Those 24mm ones are also about 100 grams lighter than the older narrower ones.
Regarding question just prior about the latest brake tracks - suggest having a long look at the wheels forum where bora rim tracks are discussed at great lengths.
