Equivalent to Campy Khashim Wheels?
Hi,
I purchased a Breezer Venturi which came with these great wheel set. They have sealed bearings, roll nicely, have a nice loud rear hub and weight about 1800grams. Great for a training wheel as they cost just $130. But alas they are not made anymore? Does anyone know the modern day equivalent is in Campy's line up?

I don't know about the Khashim or the Khasin but the Khamsin is in stock at Chain Reaction for a reasonable price https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/.../rp-prod176841 Probably even free shipping
For a bit more though, the Fulcrum Racing 5s seem worth it: https://www.probikekit.com/bicycle-w.../11815020.html

Argh...
My spell checker thinks it knows everything ...
I should have mentioned I'm looking for the Campy hub version and ironically (for a Campy wheel) that is not available at either CRC or Merlins. I called the latter and they said the wheelset had been discontinued by Campy and they are just selling left over stock.

I figured spell check but I'm no Campy expert so I didn't want to assume I've had some Fulcrum 5s for several years, they've been nice wheels. A friend got some 7s, very inexpensive, and he's been happy with those as well.

Thanks.
As you probably know Fulcrum is a Campy company designed to produce wheel sets which makes it very confusing.
I've owned the Fulcrum 7 sports before as a training wheel and I agree that they are great ... except they don't have sealed bearings so during the wet winters I had to baby them a bit. The Campy wheels are also a bit more upmarket (nicer skewers, slightly lighter etc.). The Campy wheel sets have a asymmetric version which looks way cool as well :-)
But I can't get a straight answer from Fulcrum or Campy what is the equivalent to the Khamsin. I had thought the 7 sports was a clone of the Khamsin but side by side they are very different and the later ride a bit better when new and much better at the end of winter.
Oh, I tried ordering the wheelset from CRC and they let you place the order only to auto-cancel it due to inventory issues.
