Wheelset upgrading

Hi guys, I have a question about upgrading my wheelset. I'm using this one currently (came with my Fuji Sportif 1.0 LE) (Sorry I can't post URL since I don't have 10 posts yet).

Vera Corsa DPD22 700c Disc Wheelset w/ Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Tires
And now I want to upgrade to Campy Zonda c17 disc brake

I'm kind of vague about the specification but based on them, the new Campy would fit my Fuji. Can someone help me clarifying these numbers to make sure my purchase won't be wrong? Thanks in advance

what you need to know:
- spacing... probably 135mm between dropouts for a road disc rear wheel... just go ahead and buy metric tape measure, if you don't have one already (front spacing is 100mm)
- dropout/axle... quick release vs thru axle, 9mm vs 12mm vs 15mm
- drivetrain... can your new wheel handle your (11-sp?) cassette

if these things are the same between new and old, you're all set.

That would be my question.

What is the rest of your drivetrain like? Will a Shimano/SRAM style cassette fit a Campy hub?

Campy Wheels are available with a Shimano freehub, not need to change drive train, just have to be sure to specify that you want the shimano/sram freehub.

I think it is a nice wheelset. I couldn't tell from your bike's specs but guessing you don't need through axles? QR ok?

There's one available at the same price point as every Shimano offering if you don't insist on sending your LBS owner's kids to college.

Bike shops down there have a huge overhead, driven my speculation profiteering on young Tech workers needing housing.

[google face book HP ] Bike shop owners are not Yacht buyers..
