Road Bike Wheels best wheels for purposes

[Ryan]

Okay guys, I am looking at getting a budget or should I say well used Road Bike to help me rack up some miles during the week. Trek 2800 Campy Chorus (looks like the prev owner took off the wheels and replaced with a knackered set)

 

I have a few questions wrt wheels :

 

Q What wheels can work with Campy Chorus Group Set

Q From what I have read there are different wheels for diff purposes eg training racing etc. As a second nike for mileage and climbing training any auggestions?

Q WIth these in mind what would be a good optaing training wheelset for a heavier rider. I have been advised to look at a wheelset with plenty spokes etc.

Q Would a wheelset like Campy vento work as a training wheelset?

Whats your budget

Have a look at the Campy Khamsin wheels... I have a set of those. They are the cheapest Campy wheels but are still bomb proof. I have ridden about 5000km on mine and the wheel is still perfectly true...

 

Another reason why I got these specific wheels is because they are also the most heavy. For training I would suggest getting the heaviest wheels possible as if you going on racing the difference in weight of the wheels will make a bigger difference (provided you have race wheels)

 

So I would suggest Campy Khamsim (long milage, and the heaviest in Campy) - The freebody makes a HELL of a noise though (when freewheeling) but you get use to it
