The correct answer is Campag Bora WTO, use of German wheels
on an Italo-Taiwanese bike can result in rapid degradation of the resin
holding the layers of carbon fibre and old Gazzettas that make up the frame.
Question, are you riding clinchers or tubs ?

Clinchers mostly, I may go for tubs on another wheelset. I like tubs, carry a pre glued spare and it’s not too hard to get a repair home, if needs be, and I prefer the feel of tubs, but the majority of the riding will be clinchers.

I assume the wheels are coming as well, they ought to get their own cabin.

I agree, I’m not sure it’s a universally held opinion.

I’ve decided to stick with the Fulcrums that came with the bike for now, as they really are very good. When they need replacing, I’ll look at the options again.
