Campy Victory Tubular Rims
Does anyone have an opinion on the quality of the Campagnolo Victory tubular rims? I thought I had some tubular rims that would work with my hubs from bianchigirl...but...alas, the hubs are 32 spoke and the Record rims I have are 36...so...now I need to purchase some tubular rims.
These will see limited riding...there will be some...but...minimal...

Are they Victory Crono or Victory Strada. Most of the Campi rims from back in the late '80s were pretty nice, some guys preferred them to the Mavic for whatever reason but I would call quality and durability a tie. IIRC and will try and look it up the Chrono were lighter and more for racing the Strada were heavier and more training and road racing.

I have a spare wheelset for my '93 Bianchi Giro with the Strada rims. Easily 8K miles on them since I built them up in '93 and they are still in good shape. They will probably outlast me.

What hubs? I don't recall selling any Victory hubs recently.

I have a set of Nemesis/Records hanging on a hook here waiting for their next home.
Might build up my Sintesi frameset next winter......

I have ridden Campy Record and Victory Strada rims extensively. No problems with either. Record rims sell for a lot more, for not much of a benefit as far as I can tell.
I did just pick up a wheel at a bike shop liquidation that included a C-Record 7-speed freewheel hub and a Record Pave rim. $10. Haven't glued this puppy up yet. I may just build a whole C&V bike up around this wheel.
