Fulcrum Racing 4 DB Road Disc Wheelset features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Wheels. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Fulcrum Racing 4 DB Road Disc Wheelset.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Fulcrum Racing 4 DB Road Disc Wheelset is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Wheels. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Wheels. Brands like Fulcrum are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Wheels category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

They’re equally suited to applying every watt output by the rider to the road on steep alpine ascents as it is to providing stable, predictable, competitive and safe disc brake performance on long and fast descents. It will be at home on any race bike, triathlon event, long-distance rides and training loops.Features: Material:¬†Rims & Hubs: Aluminium; Spokes: Stainless Steel Wheel Type: Clincher Discipline:¬†Race, Triathlon, Endurance Tyre Type:¬†Clincher, 2-Way Fit ready Brake Type: Disc brake only Rim Profile:¬†35mm Rim External Width:¬†23.5mm Braking System:¬†Disc Axle Compatibility:¬†QR (Quick Release), Thru Axle (12mm) Spoke Type:¬†Round, Straight Pull Spoke Count:¬†Front: 24; Rear: 24 Spoke Nipples: Aluminium Bearings:¬†Sealed cartridge Freehub:¬†Hyper-glide (HG) Cassette Compatibility: Shimano/SRAM Road cassettes 9-11 speed Tubeless Compatible: Yes Rider Weight Limit: 109 kg (Cyclist) Included: Wheelset, QR end caps 12mm end caps, rim tape (no QR skewers) Weight:¬†1.69kgTechnologies: 2-Way Fit:¬†This tubeless system is specifically designed for Fulcrum road wheels when used in conjunction with Schwalbe Tubeless easy (TL-Easy) clincher tyres. Disc Specific Rim:¬†Fulcrum is one of the first wheel manufacturers to create two completely different rim profiles, one for rim brakes, one for disc. The aim was to save as much weight as possible for the disc brake rim and to achieve greater aerodynamics. The added rim width means also that tyres with widths of 28mm and upwards can fit perfectly to this rim profile. AFS Axle System:¬†Using a disc rotor mount on the hub body and a Thru-axle engagement, Fulcrum has developed an axle system that integrates perfectly with the frame/fork dropouts and provides flex-free performance when putting the power down and optimised stability when applying heavy braking loads to your disc brake calipers. Monoblock Disc Hub:¬†The main issue that Fulcrum addressed was to combat the braking force that is applied to the wheel when using disc brakes, which creates a loss in braking power and causes the wheel to flex. Fulcrum designed a hub to be created from a complete Monoblock one-piece system, which features internal stiffening struts. This hub design creates a flex free, stiff wheel foundation that performs to a consistently exceptional level when accelerating and braking. Anti-Rotation System:¬†This 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.Buy Fulcrum Wheels&Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
