Fulcrum Racing 5 Wheelset Campagnolo Compatibility and Specifications

Fulcrum Racing 5 Clincher Wheelset Campagnolo 9/10/11 speed 2011 models.

Fulcrum is a Campagnolo brand.

Racing 5 are designed for everyday use and training. An optimum proposal from Fulcrum which guarantees excellent quality.

The hubs are completely new: oversized and provided with flanges for blade hammer-head spokes. Smoothness is ensured by sealed high-quality bearings and they have a new single-piece body which incorporates the freewheel body and pawl carrier in a single component with a considerable reduction of weight.
The spokes have blade hammer-heads of the Aero type and differentiated thickness, 24mm in the front wheel and 27mm in the rear wheel. There is radial spoking for the front wheel and the patented Fulcrum 2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio for the rear wheel. Also unchanged is the presence of Dynamic Balance which, thanks to two oversized spokes, balances the concentration of the rim joint material during wheel rotation.
The rim is a medium-sectioned one with a height of 24 mm with reinforcing eyelets for the spokes and turned braking surfaces.
The new Racing 5 wheels have a deeper upper bridge of the rim to facilitate clincher tire fitting.
Racing 5 wheels are compatible with Campagnolo®, Shimano and Sram drivetrains.
