Thanks for that, looks like I neglected it a bit. I may have a play with it myself to see if I can see what's up with it.

Sounds a bit premature having only covered 1400 odd miles still...

What wheels are they ? With the bike spec I guess they are at least P-SL2's ?

Zondas - then spend about 3 minutes each wheel removing tye decals and giving them a nice black stealthy look, then no one will know your running campags on a shimano bike......

Except for the unique Campag spoke pattern, obviously.

I like these ones

I dunno.. I rapped my finger against the deep bit in the shop and it felt flimsy... Or is that just the nature of deep rims?

It's the nature of ally clinchers with a carbon fairing. Although most deep section carbon rims sound like that, tbf.

Thanks. That case, I prefer something solid but skinny

I do admit to a certain tornness with wheels where I like the look of deep section but the feel of shallow

Depends on conditions really...mine jammed after around 5 months of all weather cycling...bout 110 miles per week...sh1tty gritty roads and all that...

Mine are solid but the newer ones seem to be a fairing . I guess its to save weight but I don't like it . Ive seen the same on zipps and cosmics so I guess its the new in thing

The wheels are P-R2

To update the thread I have gone ahead and ordered the Ultegra's. They were slightly the cheapest at £250 and hopefully will arrive tomorrow.

Had them from wiggle in the end as I was placing an order for a few other bits as well.

Thanks everyone for their input, appreciated greatly .

I'll post back here my thoughts after giving them a blast. Doubt I'll be able to tell any difference though but hopefully they'll feel better on climbs being some 300g lighter and stiffer.

300g less should certainly feel quite perky to start with - until you get used to it - then it will just feel 'normal'

Haha, vicious circle...

Quite a bit cheaper here :- http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/...znonpBRnfdW62P5ux6IOwlOPlyyHwmvEokRoCZdvw_wcB

Maybe wiggle will pricematch?

Wowzer.
