Fulcrum Racing 3 Road Bike Wheels

The Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels have gotten a new stealthy look and a wider rim! Thanks to the completely matt black appearance the Fulcrum Racing 3 wheelset looks amazing on every bike. Thanks to the wide rims the 25 mm tyres are better and you will find a lot of advantages, like more stability, more grip and a low rolling resistance.

The Fulcrum Racing 3 road bike wheels have been popular on the markets for years, This is because of the lightweight, a high degree of durability, reliability and price quality ratio. The hubs are equipped with an adjustable cup cone system with the advantage that these hubs continue to rotate well under any degree angle, no friction is created compared to industrial bearing hubs and you can extend the durability enormously by regularly inserting some new grease into the hub.

Technology

RIM DYNAMIC BALANCE
The concept is simple and elegant: With an item of similar weight, the weight of the rim gasket is balanced on the opposite side.

2:1 TWO-TO-ONE
When you push the pedals, the force will act on the spokes to start the wheel. You don't want to lose power in this interaction. Fulcrum has solved this problem with their 2:1 spoke ratio pattern, by doubling the spoke count in crucial zones on the wheel.

DRSC - DIRECTIONATED RIM-SPOKE COUPLING
Exclusive rim/spoke coupling system. It allows the rim, spokes, nipples and hub to align properly with the same tensioning value in all conditions

MOMAG
A system where the spoke nipples can be replaced with a magnet. This is necessary when there are no spoke holes on the outside of the rim

ANTI-ROTATION SYSTEM
This system brings spokes to a next level. Engineers at Fulcrum have adjusted the spokes and hubs to create a more rigid construction. The result is that the spokes:
Never lose their lateral rigidity, so are always completely centred.
Maintain the tested position from the wind tunnel while driving, for maximum aerodynamic retention.

Compatibility

Compatible with a Shimano 9-11 speed body and a Campagnolo 9-12 speed body

Delivery includes

• Fulcrum Racing 3 wheelset
• 9/10-speed spacer
• Rim tape
• Fulcrum quick releases (front and back)

Assembly

• Cassette remover Shimano or Campagnolo
• (possibly a torque wrench)

Installing a cassette on a wheel is easy if you have the right tools. If you purchase a cassette remover with a Shimano fit, you will be able to mount either a Shimano or Sram cassette on your rear wheel. Please note! For a Campagnolo cassette you need the Campagnolo tool. If you have a Shimano 9/10-speed cassette, first slide the spacer over the body. Then you place the cassette on the body. This can only be done in one way because of the fit of the body. Finally you turn the washer straight on by hand and tighten it with the cassette tool. Cassettes aren’t easily overtightened, but if you want you can use a torque wrench for this.

User tips

• Pay attention to the direction of travel when mounting your tyres
• For Shimano 9/10-speed, do not forget to mount the spacer first before installing the cassette
• Make sure the rim tape is stuck well in the rim
• On both the front and rear wheel, there is a small adjustment screw on the left-hand side to adjust the side play
