Fulcrum SPEED 55C C17 Carbon Road Wheelset 2019

Fulcrum SPEED 55C C17 Carbon Road Wheelset. The Fulcrum SPEED 55C features a 55mm deep profile, which not only provides exceptional aerodynamic performance but also offers optimized rolling efficiency and race ready stability. Although the deep section rim makes these wheels ideal for flatter terrain, the 1.47kg weight makes them extremely capable for courses that involve a lot of climbing, which benefit massively from lighter aerodynamic wheels Optimal Tyre to Rim Interface. This wheelset features a 17mm internal rim width, making it perfectly suited to both 25 and 28c width tyres. It has been designed to create the optimal tyre to rim interface with these modern tyre sizes, placing it firmly in the modern competitive race wheel category. This wider rimtyre setup grants additional rolling efficiency, traction, stability and comfort no matter what event or situation you end up being involved in Unique Carbon Fibre Construction. These wheels feature the Longitudinal Twill carbon rim design, which is unique to Fulcrum. The fibres and the orientation in which they are structured pushes the boundaries of carbon fibre construction, resulting in a stiffer, more reactive rim that can also absorb higher levels of road vibration with minimal flex Optimised Braking Performance. In addition to the technology that give the SPEED 55C exceptional stability, aerodynamic finesse and high end race performance, it also features the AC3 braking surface. This braking surface makes slowing down noticeably more responsive and powerful, which overall makes overall race times faster as you can brake later into corners with precise accuracy. This advanced coating on the braking surface provides optimised braking performance and as a bonus, it also reduces rim wear Features Material Rim Carbon; Front Hub Carbon, Aluminium flanges; Rear Hub Aluminium; Spokes Stainless Steel; Nipples Aluminium Discipline Road, Triathlon Tyre Type Clincher Rim Profile 55mm Rim External Width 24 2mm Rim Internal Width 17mm Braking Surface Twill, AC3 Treatment Axle Compatibility Quick Release Spoke Type Aero, double butted, straight pull Spoke Count Front 18; Rear 21 Bearings USB Ceramic, Cup and Cone Freewheel Plasma Coated Weight 1.47kgTechnologies AC3 All Conditions Carbon ControlAC3 enables surprising braking performance, which is very noticeable in difficult weather conditions. Rather than using the traditional machined brake track approach, Fulcrum uses micro laser incisions on the brake track surface to remove resins and create a smooth surface. Lab tests have shown that this process improves braking power by an improvement of 6%. However, in the wet this performance increase jumps to 43%. Bringing braking in the wet closer to the performance experienced when riding in dry conditions. USB Ceramic Ultra Smooth BearingsUsing high end ceramic balls, which perform continually thanks to the absence of lubricating grease and the precise machining of the cup and cone technology, the friction is reduced drastically and in turn increases the smoothness of triathlon and road bike wheels by as much as 9 times compared to standard bearings. Rim Dynamic BalanceSimple and Elegant, the weight of the rim gasket is balanced on the opposite side with an item of similar weight. 21 Two To OneEvery push on the pedals from the rider will force most of that energy on the drive side of the rear wheel. To combat this loss of rim tension and power transfer, Fulcrum has solved this cycling problem with their 21 spoke ratio pattern by doubling the spoke count in crucial zones on the wheel. Directionated Rim Spoke CouplingAn exclusive rimspoke mounting system. It allows the rim, spokes, hub and nipples to align perfectly, guaranteeing the precise spoke tension in all areas around the wheel. Anti Rotation SystemThis system locks the spoke in place once the correct tension is achieved. Engineers at Fulcrum have designed this system to ensure the spokes never lose their initial tension and to remain in the position that has been proven to provide the perfect aerodynamic properties. Unrilled Rim BedFeaturing no holes on the central section of the rim means that the rim is uniform at every point, free from critical areas subject to stress. The advantages are immediately clear less weight, longer lasting rims, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility of giving the spokes more tension and more stiffness which, in terms of performance, means improved responsiveness and acceleration. Plasma FreehubThe freehub body has been Plasma treated, which makes the aluminium especially hard and resistant to surface abrasion and wear. This means the thickness of materials used can be to be reduced to a minimum, achieving a lighter weight, while maintaining lifespan and reliability Buy Fulcrum Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the Worlds Largest Online Bike Store.
