2009 Campy Wheels: Two-Way Fit

Two of Campagnolo's high-end aluminum wheelsets, the Shamal Ultra (preliminary gram count ~1440gm) and the Eurus (preliminary gram count ~1550gm) will be compatible with both clincher tires and with tubeless tires. Both of these wheelsets, aside from the changes in the rim section, will remain relatively unchanged from 2008 to 2009.

This does however lead to wonderings about what Shimano & Campagnolo know about road tubeless that the general public has yet to hear about. It seems logical to assume that if both Shimano & Campagnolo are now producing road tubeless wheelsets then the availability of road tubeless tires is bound to increase.
