How did I do?

I just picked up a set of Campy Eurus G3 with maybe 300 total miles on them. Came with the original skewers, a brand new set of Continental Sport tires and a brand new 11sp Ultegra cassette. All for $265.

I feel like I did ok and am looking forward to running them on my LeMond and then move the Mavics to my Merlin.

Anyone else use them? Like them?

I've been able to get near-identical Fulcrum wheels on the road for short cash, for need of a single spoke, and the wheels feel great. Definitely well-made. The aluminum spokes I found hard to source as singles, until I found an online place in Germany that sold singles, instead of me having to buy a $160+ set of the alloy spokes! I only needed one spoke, but bought an extra spare in each of the two lengths and a special nipple wrench all for only $55 or so.
Different model year might or might not feature "2-way fit" that can be run tubeless.
