And there have been amazing deals on the Bora tubs for some time. They're a perfect match for the Dogma, and Campy carbon brake tracks are fantastic for what they are. But if you want to take the topic of brand matching and step it up a notch, it'd be good to know what groupset you plan to run.
Ufff.. the grupset story...
I was (I'm still) open to all options, more on Shimano and SRAM, don't know why I didn't pay to much attention to Campa groupset, probably because is so rare that I almost have no knowledge about how it stands compared to the other two.
Currently I run on Dura Ace DI2, it served my flawlessly for more that 4 years but I was tempted to try eTAP for the new build. Reading some reviews, speaking with some eTap owners I concluded that the "old" eTap is a no-go for me, maybe the new AXS eTap. But the problem with the AXS is that requires a different freehub and I would like to be able to swap the wheels from one bike to another.
So I decided to stick with Shimano, especially that the F10 frame has build-in support for DI2 junction unit.
But now I started looking at the Campa EPS Super Record (12 speed, even better that DI2), I don't know how it performs compared to DI2 but I feel that for a Pinarello with Bora wheels would be the best match.
Also I need a PM, I don't want a pedal based PM and I didn't see a Campa crankset with PM, so it might be a problem here.
Also I frequently use the hood buttons on the Dura Ace shifters to change screens on my Garmin, a relly cool feature that is only available on Shimano
Back on the subject, unless something extraordinary doesn't happens, I am determined on Campa Bora wheelset, now the question is which set between Bora One 50 and Bora WTO 45, and maybe Bora Ultra 50, but I feel that the huge money difference between Ultra and One doesn't worth only for carbon hubs.
The Bora One/Ultra are lighter (yes, I climb a lot, actually I don't realy flats at all, so a light pair of wheels are welcome) but WTO 45 are new tech, wider, more up-to-date and support tubeless, which I use on my MTB for years and I'm quite happy.
I run on tubulars now, I had only one time a puncture that destroyed my tubular completly but fortunately what 500 meters from home. The problem is that always when I do a ride with the tubulars I'm quite stressed because I don't carry an exchange tubular with me, only some puncture solution, and we all know that sometimes the solution doesn't work always, so I would have a big big problem if this happens..
So I'm tempted on a tubeless approach also on my road bike.
