Fulcrum Racing 5 LG Disc Brake Wheelset Quick Release Centrelock Bl/Wh

The key focus of Fulcrum's entry level disc brake wheel, the Racing 5 Disc Brake (DB), is to support aggressive power transfer and accommodate strong braking forces, ensuring longevity and high level performance. Fulcrum utilise the pre-existing wisdom of two to one spoke technology on both the Racing 5 DB's wheels. Fulcrum use 14 spokes on the drive-side of the rear wheel and 7 spokes on the non drive-side, for better power transfer and enhanced longevity, due to the extra forces passing through the drive-side of the wheel. The front wheel has 14 spokes on the disc brake side and 7 on the opposite side, to help the wheel handle the extra torsional forces that come with disc brakes, keeping the wheel centred and stable under intense breaking and enhancing the lifespan of the wheel. on the Racing 5 DB front wheel. By having 14 spokes on the left of the front wheel and 7 on the right, the wheel is suitably reinforced for the extra forces of disc brakes and also suitably strong for the wheel to remain stable and central during intense braking. The pull of the drive-train automatically helps to stabilise and centralise rear braking. Balance assured, Fulcrum incorporate oversized hubs with oversized flanges on the drive and brake sides of the hubs to further benefit stiffness and therefore power transfer, responsiveness and durability. Inside the hub, high grade steel balls on sealed cylindrical bearings reduce friction and ensure consistent performance over time. Fulcrum's Racing 5 DB's are great for training and sportives due to their excellent durability and stability, meaning you can rely on them to give great performance for thousands of miles, all year round.
