Having spent a winter on Vittoria twin treads and hating them a while ago, why would I then go and buy a set of Vittoria wheels?
[I could have ridden a pair of Vittoria tubulars and had a completely different view but it doesn't alter the following]:

Between the big boys; Mavic, Zipp, Bontrager, Easton, Reynolds, Campagnolo, Shimano and Fulcrum (others too). Is there room for yet another wheel manufacturer? Who is going to bite the bullet and buy a pair? I'd like to know and i'd like to know why.

    If I had cash I would give them a try, if I also needed wheels too. I find Vittoria's a good mid-range brand.

    They make shoes? I haven't seen those. Maybe i'll buy them to buck the trend!

    I would hardly call the maker of 90% of the uci pro tour tubs a mid range brand at £50 a tub?

    I' d put £50 down as being mid range in terms of tubs, but I doubt the UCI teams you reference are using £50 tubs they buy on line but are racing the kit supplied by their sponsors so price becomes somewhat irrelevant to the teams/riders as long as it does the job & pleases the sponsors.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Maybe Vittoria have something innovative up their sleeves. Maybe having made top quality tyres they will do what Mavic do and come up with a tyre wheels system that improves performance.
