2. What are the weight limits of the wheels? Where can I find the weight limits allowed by the wheels?
All Campagnolo wheels are constructed to meet the highest standards of resistance and durability. We do not specify a weight limit, but if you weigh more than 82 kg/180 lbs, you should pay particular attention and inspect your bicycle more frequently (compared to someone who weighs less than 82 kg/180 lbs) to check for possible cracks, deformations, or indications of fatigue or wear. Check with your mechanic to make sure that the Campagnolo components you have chosen are suitable for your type of use and ask him to tell you the most appropriate frequency for inspections. Using tires with a larger diameter and a frame that respects the standards will help to increase the lifetime of the wheels.

3. What does "2-Way Fit" mean?
2-Way Fit is the new wheel profile that allows you to fit either a tubeless tire or a classic clincher tire. So you can fit the valves for tubeless tires and normal clincher tires with the same effectiveness.

Tubeless tires do not have an inner tube, because the air is sealed inside the tire.
