    Er...........I'd have to go to the shed for a look Daz 'cos I can't remember . They have been OK though, not as good as the Zondas but diff price range. Got some new tyres too which feel good - Shwalbe Ultremo.
    I'll PM you wheel info tommoz - local dealer had them at £40 less than cheapest I could find on the Internet, had only Shimano left after I bought last Campag pair.

    The feel and handling changes a lot, even the tyre makes a difference - don't get cheap tyres even if you have cheap wheels. Some wheels are specialised for TT or climbing whilst others are all rounders. Hard to explain the feel of a nice wheel & tyre combo but it certainly gives you confindance zooming down a fast and twisty descent.
