Scirroccos are pigs ... good commuting wheels, but the Zondas are leagues better for not much more cash
Why ?
Pasted this from page 1 of this thread.

Zonda Pros:
~270 grams lighter
No rim tape
Better hub (cup-and-cone)
Brass nipples
Zonda Cons:
Shallower (e.g. 24-27mm tall)
Aluminum freehub. Hardened with white ceramic coating?

Scirocco Pros:
Deeper (35mm tall)
Aluminum freehub. Hardened with white ceramic coating.
Scirocco Cons:
Rim tape required
Aluminum nipples
Lower quality hub

I have owned a set of Scirocco's as training wheel and I was very impressed with them especially given the price. For me basically only the lower quality hub could be a potential call out indeed. Although I have never faced any issues with them and I even rode them in the winter. They felt fast though, also proved by my output. So the question is, would you experience or feel that the Zonda's are better wheels during your ride ? I know the price difference for such a training wheel is minimal, but given the Scirocco's aero profile, I wouldn't call them a pig...

Has anyone setup Eurus, Zonda or Scirocco tubeless? Specifically, traiditional rim, not "2-way fit" buzz word from Campagnolo. My Scirocco has 2 layers of Stan's Rim Tape and Stan's tubeless valves are collecting dust. Based on my understanding, "2-way fit" is just their tubeless valve, nothing else is different.

Campagnolo posted this on YouTube back in 2009 www.campagnolo.com/WW/en/Support/assemb ... eless_tire

Gotta love their statement "Any other type of Tubeless and Tubeless Ready tyre is not allowed". In other words, nothing but Schwalbe is approved.
