Great news are these going on the TCR? Haven't you got a fee sets of carbon wheels to choose from now? Or to draw some good comparisons?

Yes on the TCR although it won't see any real use now until the winter season is over.
I did test ride them on a local training loop yesterday with GP5000TL tyres that I've used on all my latest wheelsets.
I've previously used, Giant SLR1 wheels, Reynold Assaults, Winspace Luns (with sapim Cx ray spokes), Campy Zonda, Campy Shamal and now the Campy Bora.
The Campy boras / shamals are noticeably the smoothest and in terms of feel they just feel like they want to go especially when climbing no flex noticed excellent braking.
The slr1 wheels that came with the bike probably the worst in terms of braking and flex but still OK for stock wheels.
The Reynold Assaults I found pretty good but not with the stock pads I ended up changing to Reynolds Cryo Power Pads which seemed much better over the stock pads that came with them.
The Winspace Luns I didn't use for a long period of time but I did find the freehub would click / bang a bit when sometimes it engaged it has 6 paws in the freehub and I think 1 paw must of caught at times. braking again seemed pretty good nothing to moan about and good value for a cheap set, better than the SLR1 giant wheels imo.
If I could only have 1 set though it would be the shamal it's just a bullet proof wheel, so smooth and being cheaper makes it great value. Only thing I wish campy made it wider internally.
If it was between the carbon wheels even though I've only used them once so far, I'd pick the Bora they're super smooth and the braking is by far the best I've experienced on carbon wheels anyway. It's close to my shamals with BXP pads. Obviously in wet conditions it maybe a different story.
I'll let you no more once I have put more miles on them. The TCR is going to Ali at Fat Creations in a few weeks for custom paint so I'll be without it for a while but I'll post in the TCR chat once I have it back and built.
