Fulcrum Racing Zero Competizione Road Bike Wheels

The Fulcrum Racing Zero Competizione is a newcomer to the Zero range. It takes all the technologies from the existing Zero wheelsets but improves even more over the regular Zero and bridges the gap between the regular Zero and the Zero Carbon. For instance, the Zero Competizione uses the ceramic Cult bearings rather than the USB ones in order to improve the smoothness of the wheel and durability of the hubs. The 2-way fit system, allowing you to run tubeless and thereby largely avoiding punctures, is also carried over, as well as the MoMag system which ensures the spoke holes are only drilled in the outer rim but not the bed itself, radically improving the rigidity of the wheels. The wheelset also uses the C17 rims which means 25 and 28 mm tyres fall onto the wheel nicely.

Delivery includes

• Fulcrum Racing Zero Competizione wheelset
• Spacer for 10-speed cassettes
• Quick release skewers

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.
