This is a summary guide to finding the right Campagnolo wheel for your type of cycling. The range of wheels covers everything from daily leisure and commuting use, through to high performance track racing.

Campagnolo wheels are well known, particularly for hub reliability which extends through the range. The wheels are divided into types depending on their profile, so you get low, medium and high. Profile in this case refers to the rim depth.

Low profile Campagnolo wheels

When cycling involves long periods of intense effort, low rotating mass of a wheel helps to conserve energy and that's where these wheels are most useful.

The medium priced wheel here is the Neutron, which comes in a clincher and an Ultra version with reduced weight, often used for time trials and very long rides.

At a considerably higher price tag and performance at lower weight is the Hyperon Ultra Two, which comes in both a tubular and clincher, made completely form carbon fiber.

Medium profile Campagnolo wheels

In this category are wheels which can used for a variety of purposes, starting with the Khamsin which is an entry level wheel.

As you go up the range, the weight decreases as you might expect. The next wheel, the Vento, starts to incorporate some of the advanced technology but is still within the affordable price range for those starting out in competition.

The Scirocco falls into the same area but adding aero spokes that are differently positioned in front and rear wheels.

At the next level of performance, the Zonda has different rim profiles to suit the demands of front and rear wheels and is a wheel for the more serious competitor, where those factors come into play more.

The Eurus is then a significant step up in price, design and performance, including the majority of Campagnolo's best bike wheel technology. These are suitable for hill climbs and longer riding tests, with higher profiles to give a more rigid wheel.

At the top of the medium profile range is the Campagnolo Shamal, at a very lightweight 1395g, with carbon hubs, weight removed around the rims and in tubular, clincher or 2-way versions.

Campagnolo high profile wheels

These wheels are designed for low aerodynamic resistance to transfer the maximum energy to maintain maximum speed, rather than conserving energy.

There is a pure track wheel in the Pista, which has minimum flex and torsion movement at a rim height of 38mm.

With even less aerodynamic resistance is the Ghibli, with a convex profile and using aramid fibers (related to Kevlar) on the rim to increase rigidity, with steel track axles.

At the very top of time trial and triathlon wheels is the 50mm profile Campagnolo Bora, weighing just 1305g per wheelset, using carbon fibre hubs with ceramic bearings and stainless variable section spokes.

How to Pack for a Scuba Diving Vacation

One area of scuba diving education that seems to get little attention is how to pack your gear. My very first scuba diving vacation was when my wife and I got married in Hawaii and did our honeymoon in Tahiti. I toted a full sized, scuba suitcase from Chicago to Maui to Honolulu to Papeete to Bora Bora to Moorea, then back to Honolulu and finally Chicago. Each leg of the journey, I had to pay extra for the weight (and extra bag) of scuba gear. I carried way too much unneeded stuff. In today's economy, the airlines are looking for any reason to bend you over and nail you in the keester with luggage fees. So planning how you pack, can save you some money in the future.<!--more-->

The Thinking Dive Traveler

Before you start putting anything in a bag, you first have to go over everything and look for items that can be removed. I'm currently packing for a trip to Turks and Caicos. As I was folding up my mesh bag for carrying gear on a boat, I noticed that I still had a bunch of teaching slates in one of the pockets. I removed the backup light from my harness as well as the backup double ender I keep and stainless steel buckle used to hold my canister light in place. Even though I could really use my stainless steel backplate, I'm taking my aluminum plate to reduce the weight of the bag (I'll add a weight belt when I get there). By making these small changes, I was able to shave off 8 pounds from the bag. That may not seem like much, but it will help me get below the "heavy" bag weight limit the airlines impose. Remember, every ounce counts. So get into the mindset to eliminate even the smallest item if it isn't needed. If your bag is even 1 pound over the weight limit, you can bet a paycheck the airline will charge you extra. There's a war raging for your dollar. You need to fight to keep it. Make sure you know the weight limits for the airline you are traveling with prior to packing up your dive gear.

The Rental Option

Even if you own your own gear, you can still opt to rent gear from the dive operator you are diving with. This way you won't have to worry about packing, and maybe losing your dive gear. I'm always skeptical about renting gear in other countries. Who knows how well it has been taken care of. I get the willies just thinking about donning a wet suit that a thousand people may have puked on, peed in or done something worse. So I prefer to take my own gear. Certainly renting gear at your destination is a viable option. Just do your homework into how they service their gear.

Maximizing Bag Space

Looking at how you pack your gear can be a big benefit to you. You are only given a finite space to place your gear in a bag. My shorty wetsuit and mesh gear bag will lay perfectly flat on the bottom of my travel case (when it's laying down). I then put my backplate and wing on top of that. Make sure all of the air is out of your BCD prior to packing. My regulator bag sits nicely inside the harness next to the backplate. I have fin "pockets" on the inside of my travel case. Even my Jet fins will fit in them. My wet suit boots go in the foot pocket of my fins. The lid of my travel case has a padded zipper pocket on the inside of it. My mask fits in there nicely. I carry my bottom timer/depth gauge on my carry-on bag. By packing this way, I have plenty of room for souvenirs to bring home. Just as long as they don't push me over the bag weight limit. In the past, I made mistakes by packing things I thought I needed. For example, I own two regulator bags. One is a very nice, thickly padded XS Scuba one. I love that reg bag. But it is too bulky to travel with. So I have a less bulky one, that isn't as nice, to carry my regulators in. I've also stopped carrying multiple Pelican cases. In the past, I took as many as three Pelican cases to hold "stuff". I'm now down to only one small case, to hold my wallet and sunglasses when I'm in the water.

Make Sound Travel Decisions

If you take frequent scuba vacations, make sure that you think through your gear choices when traveling. It doesn't hurt to have a travel BCD that is smaller and lighter than your home BCD. Same thing with fins. As much as I love my Scubapro Jet fins, my old Dacor Panthers save me 4 extra pounds and I can move through warm water just as efficiently as my Jets. I also have warm water boots that are low cut and a thin rubber sole. Whereas my home wet suit boots are high tops with a thick, hard sole.

Otherwise, if you don't mind paying the extra fees for exceeding your checked bag weight limit, then feel free to keep stimulating the economy. We could use all the help we can get.

When I am not teaching, I can be found diving year round, in a wide variety of environments that include the Great Lakes, to the warm clear waters of the Caribbean and South Pacific.

I have a passion for diving and strive to be the best possible diver I can be. This passion provides the motivation for me to accomplish between 100 and 150 non-teaching dives per year. This gives me the experience to increase my knowledge pool to share with my students. I believe in continual practice. A great diver makes for a great instructor.
