I don't understand why people complain about decals. The great thing about them is that you can just peel them off.
It's a shame Campag didn't aim for a ~1500g weight. That would have been easily doable.
But maybe it's product segmentation and they'll drop a 1300g ultra set.

Does anyone happen to know if it is just the simple FH-BO015X1 Shimano freehub from Campy that is all that is needed to make an N3W (Shamal Carbon) or Bora WTO Shimano compatible I'm doing the unthinkable and need some campy wheels on a Shimano bike. Thinking Shamal Carbon for the 21mm inner width as I want to use this as a "road" wheelset on my gravel bike. The 19mm WTO inner width seems really narrow for anything but a pure road bike. Thinking to run the GP5000 TL in 32mm.

Anyone owning them and willing to provide feedback?
It’s time for my Giant TCR Advanced 1 disc (2021) to get a wheelset upgrade from the stock PR-2 (approx weight 2000g).
Given that I have decided for a budget around $1,500 AUD, I have set my mind on two options:
Option 1. Fulcrum Wind 40 ($1,600 AUD), 40mm deep carbon rims with standard steel bearings. Declared Weight: 1620g.
Option 2. Campagnolo Shamal ($1,700 AUD), 35mm front and 40mm rear deep carbon rims with cup and cone bearings. Declared weight: 1585g.
Alternatively stick with alloy rims, with the Fulcrum Racing Zero ($1,200 AUD), 30mm deep alloy rims with the USB ceramic bearings. Declared Weight: 1590g.
Now, I live in Melbourne (Aus) in a bit of a hilly area, but no major climbs. The rest of my rides are pretty flattish.
Also I use my TCR to commute to work, so I take the bike out in any weather conditions.
I know none of these are "light" wheels, but this is all I can afford.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Now seen them in the flesh. The stick on decals really dont look good and I would probably remove them. However I never worried about it with alu wheels like Neutrons. Apart from that they look okay. Its a shame they havent used areo spokes. The drive side and front disc side are j bend the rest are straight pull.
I thought the finish on them looked very nice, possibly one of the nicest finishes I've seen on a wheel in awhile. I'm running them with 35mm tires so mostly any wheel characteristics are fully muted. I'll report back when I put 28s on. They don't require rim tape so at least factor that into the weight.
Got them but waiting for a frame to put them on. It's a shame they haven't got aero spokes and the decals aren't great.

I'll be seeing a set of these in the next week mounted with 32mm Rene Herse tires on an Ekar bike. I have 2 other sets of Campy wheels (Bora WTO's) and now I cannot see myself buying any other wheels but Campy.

New free hubs are generally very quiet and get louder over time.
I don't know why, but sometimes Campy overpacks their wheel's free hubs with a little too much grease.
I've got at least 6 pair of Campy wheels over the decade, and all of them but 1 required cleaning and re-greasing out of the factory box. My Campy shops say this is not uncommon.
Sometimes, riding helps open up the sound a bit. But other times you just gotta get in there and when you see how much grease there is... you'll be thinking ya there was no way the sound was going to open up without a proper overhaul.
