Fulcrum very slightly lighter. Campy is C19 inner width instead of C17. What width tyres are you considering?

Fulcrum 108kg rider limit, Campy 120kg total weight limit (rider + bike)

Otherwise I'd go with best price and/or your preferences about look.

I wouldn't pay $2.5k for a wheelset though, to be frank. Plenty of other quality carbon wheelsets available for a grand less than that.

I have ordered some LB WR50 wheels for the gravelly.
Ended up more than I'd like still.
But wide and with brass nipples, cx ray spokes and dt swiss hubs.
Dogs are the best people :wink:

I have a set I'm very happy with, and a mate of mine who races has three sets. No issues at all, and well priced.
