Campagnolo wheel choice

galatzo

Broke a spoke on my Easton Ascent II this morning and I think I can buy a new pair of wheels quicker than I can get it repaired. (Can't be without the bike for over a week at the moment as lots of training to do).

So I've decided to get some new wheels but they have to be on finance as a bit skint.
(I thought I had noticed some flex recently as I'm getting a bit fitter and had been considering new wheels anyway. The Easton's are about 4/5 years old and have had new rear rim and frehub body in the last 9 months.)

Budget is upto £500 really unless it's a mega bargain, £350 upwards to get something I'll like and is comparable to the Easton's.

So far I've seen Neutrons at £365, Eurus 2-way at £470, Neutron Ultra £485 - Eurus are fave at the moment.

Running Chorus 11 speed

Doing about 250 per week including 100 commuting miles.

Which would you go for ? or is there something else ...


Thanks

Shamals are a great deal for £500

I'd love the Shamals but need a finance deal unfortunately.

I'll plead with lbs and see how quick they can do a repair and then reconsider I think.

Thanks

I've got a set of Eurus wheels - look good and ride well. No complaints about their performance.

UPDATE

The wife has said she'll get me some new wheels

Up to £500 I reckon without risking divorce.

So what shall I get ? Campag fitting

Ususal criteria, light, stiff and tough, and I want 'em quick so I think handbuilts are out unfortunately (I had considered them before my spoke broke and the need became urgent)
Will be going with Chorus 11 speed on to an Isaac Sonic same as the one in the link in a fortnights time. In the mean time they'll be on my Focus in the road bike gallery.
