Does anyone have a set of the 2016 wheels, looking at them on chainreaction its hard to see if the brake track is silver or coated grey/black.
I really don't want the coated brake track.

These are the wheels.

    The clue is in the name zero "black". These AFAIK are the equivalent of the Shamal Milles which are Campagnolo badged. The coating is largely cosmetic and seems to wear away is poor weather conditions.

    If you look at the small pix at the bottom of the Chain Reaction site, you will see a silver machined brake track on the Zero Black. The all black ones with a black "plasma" coated braking surface are called Zero Nite.

    the fulcrum equivalent of the shamal mille is the 'racing zero nite'. if you look at the detail photo on the chain reaction page, it still has the normal aluminium brake track.

    Yeah i get that but i thought the "Nite" was the all black and the ones i linked was just black hubs.... as all the photos aren't consistent i just wanted to make sure. I'm probably best to ring and ask. Anyway like you say i have also read that the coating doesn't last in the wet.
