With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.
Returns, goods to be in original condition, labels still attached, and orignal packaging still in good order. accepted within 7 working days.
Our returns policy is simple. If you have bought the wrong item and you feel the need to return items to us, then it must be returned in original un-used condition, within 7 working days of purchase. This applies to any item we hold in-stock and we will exchange the item or order the correct item for you.
Otherwise, if the item is faulty, then we will fulfil the manufacturers warranty and manage that warranty return on your behalf.
In all cases, a valid receipt will be needed. Thankfully our till keeps receipts for 1 year for all our registered customers, so if you’ve lost yours then as a registered customer we can print your receipts for you.
If you have any other reason for returning items, then talk to us and we will try our best and always aim to deal with things in a fair way.
Brand:Fulcrum
Code:FULC0146830
Experience the benefit of reducing the single greatest force a rider has to overcome on a flat road, the wind! It's easy to see that the design of the Wind range descends directly from Fulcrums Speed 55 wheel, as ridden by Elia Viviani of professional world tour team Cofidis. The same rim profile developed for the range topping wheelsets is included here for supreme versatility in both training and race pursuits.
The Wind 40 wheelset offers a distinct aero advantage yet impressive weight and handling. Fulcrum has developed their technology with relentless attention to detail through countless wind tunnel cycles, real world testing, and subsequent laboratory analysis. This has resulted in a rim profile which is specifically designed to provide a flat transition from tyre to wheel in order to limit the disruption of airflow and thus maximise aerodynamics. The innovative rim shape has also been designed with the objective of reducing the effect of cross winds on the ride as much as possible for adaptability to any course and weather condition.
The unidirectional carbon fibre rim construction features Fulcrum Mo-Mag technology which allows for a completely sealed spoke bed to facilitate perfect tubeless integration, with a 19mm internal rim width perfectly suited to support 25 and 28c tyres. The 24 straight pull double butted spokes are threaded to each rim by hand using nipples which are moved into place with magnets.
Asymmetric 2:1 spoke lacing with double the number of spokes on the rear drive-side and the front non-drive side, are optimised to best spread the stresses generated by the rear hub driver body and front disc rotor respectively.The straight pull spokes are laced to CNC machined aluminium hubs with sealed cartridge bearings, further optimising the weight and offering a long service life.
