Campag Neutron Ultra Wheels

My front Neutron Ultra hub shattered last summer and I've been unable to source a replacement part (or a front wheel alone).
I'm more than resigned to replacing the wheelset and selling the rear and front but are there any other options I should consider? I really like the Neutrons and nothing really springs to mind as an alternative.
The wheels will be mainly for Alpine holiday riding so good climbing is a priority, I have some Scirroco 35s for everyday use.

Get some hand built wheels on, for example, record hubs. Decent rims and spokes. Then you'll never have the same worry again! I have a pair that are 32h record rear, 24h extralight front on IRD cadence road with good Sapim spokes. They are really stiff, lighter than neutron ultras and easily serviceable anywhere. I love them!Insta: ATEnduranceCoaching

Unfortunately your front rim has 22 holes, hence impossible to find a replacement hub.
If the rear is fine, get something vaguely matching for the front....kind of Velocity Aerohead laced to a 20H hub with Sapim CX Ray spokes... would look similar enough to go un-noticedleft the forum March 20230 -
Thanks both.
I admit I'd considered handbuilts in principal but got no further. Ugo, you're suggestion sounds very good - could you give me an idea of price/weight etc (happy to take this to pm).0 -
In the absence of a suitable 22 H hub, there is a Frankenstein build you can explore. Based on a cheap 32 H hub, say Shimano 105 or Novatec 171, it should be possible to build a 1 cross lacing patter with one radial spoke per side. That leaves 5 holes per side unused. I'm not quite sure how this will work in practice, but what can possibly go wrong eh?left the forum March 20230

Graeme - ha, yes, I'm the crash replacement one. I'd given up hope of Campag coming up with the goods - thanks for your persistence!
Ugo, thanks for the info and I'll certainly bear it in mind.0 -
