ROATA SPATE FULCRUM RACING 5 C17 CL SHIMANO HG11

ROATA SPATE FULCRUM RACING 5 C17 CL SHIMANO HG11 The already best-in-class Racing 5 wheelset goes from high to higher performance thanks to its new designThe same qualities that have made the Racing 5 such a popular wheelset in the past combine new elements in order to make an affordable but also race ready wheel. The 20 spoke design in addition to the 17C wide asymmetric rear rim profile offers remarkable performance in terms of both increased lateral and torsional rigidity as well as increased reactivity. The new design allows for more homogenous spoke tensions and makes for a sturdier, higher performing wheelset._x000D_ Features_x000D_ Redesigned hubs to increase torsion load resistance._x000D_ Asymmetric rim profile._x000D_ Oversize flange._x000D_ Rim material: Aluminium alloy._x000D_ Internal width: 17 mm._x000D_ Rim height: 27.5 mm._x000D_ 20 Straight Pull spokes._x000D_ Aluminum alloy nipples._x000D_ Technologies_x000D_ Asymmetric rim_x000D_ The asymmetric rim profile allows better balancing of spoke tensions between drive and non drive side, giving better symmetry to an asymmetric component._x000D_ Increased efficiency and reactivity are sure to be noted._x000D_ Hubs and oversize flange_x000D_ Oversized hubs increase wheel stiffness and reactivity._x000D_ Oversized flange on the drive side provides greater torsional stiffness, and increasing reactivity at each change of the rhythm of the pedal stroke._x000D_ Anti-rotation systemâ„¢_x000D_ This new system raises the concept of spoking to a new level of performance for road bike and triathlon wheels ( and mtb too). The Fulcrum engineers have redesigned the spokes and the hub housings to create a solid and unmoveable whole. The result is that the spokes:_x000D_ will never lose their initial tension, thus keeping the wheel perfectly reactive and centered;_x000D_ will remain in the position that have been studied in the wind tunnel tests to ensure the best aerodynamic penetration possible._x000D_ F.I.C. Fulcrum Identification Card_x000D_ 100% Handmade quality_x000D_ Right from its inception Fulcrum has been marked by feature that continues to this day: that is to design, prototype and industrialise all the wheels characterised by the red “Fâ€Â._x000D_ Indeed these take shape inside of the R&D, the leading-edge department that represents the beating heart of the Italian company._x000D_ Every single component of the wheel, the materials chosen and the technologies applied are the tangible result of the effort that Fulcrum makes every day to give you maximum performance and reliability._x000D_ To ensure the top performance and reliability of its products, each project, for the production stage, must undergo a series of very strict tests that validate what has been conceived and designed up to that moment (fatigue test, crash test, tyre burst test, enviroment test, 100% manually assembled and electronically checked)._x000D_ This is why, from its 2012 range, Fulcrum wanted to supply each wheel with its own Identity Card (ID) which uniquely identifies the wheel and certifies that it has been manually assembled and has passed all tests required by the strict quality protocol._x000D_ Wide rim tech_x000D_ Fulcrum R&D department, following requests from the competition circuit, has worked to create rims that are wider than before, about 4 mm or more than previously. This technical choice provides an ideal basis for 25/28 mm tyres, the sizes currently popular._x000D_ This ensures stability, excellent handling and superior comfort._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_
