NEW WHEELS REDUCES WEIGHT BY 0.84kGS!

 ***LATEST*** ***LATEST*** ***LATEST*** ***LATEST***

The guys at The London Cycle Workshop  expertly fitted the new Zonda wheels and Schwalbe Ultremo ZX tyres this morning. A bit of a discount and free fitting make it well worth using your local bike shop.
Before the wheels swap the bike (Ribble Sportive Bianco, Athena groupset, Khamsin wheels with Gatorskin Hardshell tyres) weighed in at 8.88Kgs but after the swap to Zondas/Ultremos the weight was 8.04Kgs, a much bigger saving than I expected. The 0.84Kgs difference is really noticeable, although I'm still not 'flying up the hills'.
The Zondas seem to be Campagnolo's best kept sectret. *Whispers* They're lighter than Neutrons! 
PS Get them from your local bike shop if you can, but if not, they can normally be bought in the back of Cycling Weekly magazine for £274 - which has got to be one of the bargains of the year.

This is my bike with the Zondas
