Those commenting on the MSRP of Campy wheels are grasping at straws, trying to disprove their value. The last set of zondas I bought cost $320, delivered from pro bike kit. I had considered buying shamals, but they were only 100g lighter with the same 16/21 spoke count, but aluminum spokes, and carbon fiber hub shells at more than twice the price. Shamals can be had for half the price that someone quoted - $745 from pro bike kit.

If you're not competing at a high level, the deep profile carbon rimmed wheels are just for show. I suspect that most posting on this forum don't have a real need for them. 25 years ago I had some of the earliest aero wheels - Campy Shamals with 16 spokes front, 16 rear and deep profile silver anodized aluminum rims. I didn't compete, but they showed well. A couple of years later, I bought the latest model with 12 spokes front and rear.
