Fulcrum Wheels Racing 7 2011 Clincher Wheelset

Fulcrum's research and development department designers had a tough time reaching the set goals, similar to a rider trying to conquer that "mythical" summit. This rim's weight (less than 1850g), and all test results show, once again, the greatness of this design.

The new hubs are made for straight spokes: aluminum-made and with a large flange on the crankset side of the rear wheel, which results in a significant increase in reaction.

The front wheel has 20 steel spokes with a 2mm round section. The spokes of the rear wheel have a 2:1 ratio Two-to-One: 8 2mm round spokes, radially laced for the left side. On the driveside there are twice as many straight spokes, with the same 2mm section.

And in order to control wear in Racing models, Fulcrum has included its new Wear indicator system.
