Campagnolo Vento- worth upgrading?

My road bike has Campagnolo Ventos (probably G1) with Mirage hub on them, is it worth upgrading these to a better wheelset?

My tourer has Rigidia Flyer/Makic CXP-20 rims, Mirage hubs. I could move the Roadie Ventos to the tourer. Although I'm not sure roadie wheelsets designed for lightness are suitable for tourers as I'll carry more weight.

Worthy upgrade are the Zondas @£330 for the wheelset.

Cant comment on the wheels your looking at, though they do look nice. But thinking to my motorbike days, any things that reduces the weight of the wheels has to be a good thing. Less mass to spin = less effort.
Those Zonda's look nice.

My sister has fulcrums on her Pinarelllo. Made a big difference.
Got cheap and cheerfull RS500's on my TCR, till i can shift some weight and get some thing lighter.

Campagnolo Shamal look even nicer. Same price as my bike though, bit stupid to match the two up..

How about a set of Spinergys ?

I love those ones with the four carbon fibre spokes.

They're normally banned in races due the the helicopter blade effect if something gets between them :eek:
