Fulcrum Racing 5 Wheelset Shimano Compatibility and Specifications

Fulcrum Racing 5 Clincher Wheelset Shimano 10/9/8 speed 2011 models.

Fulcrum is a Campagnolo brand.

Racing 5 are designed for everyday use and training. An optimum proposal from Fulcrum which guarantees excellent quality.

The hubs are completely new: oversized and provided with flanges for blade hammer-head spokes. Smoothness is ensured by sealed high-quality bearings and they have a new single-piece body which incorporates the freewheel body and pawl carrier in a single component with a considerable reduction of weight.
The spokes have blade hammer-heads of the Aero type and differentiated thickness, 24 in the front wheel and 27 in the rear wheel.There is radial spoking for the front wheel and the patented Fulcrum 2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke Ratio for the rear wheel. Also unchanged is the presence of Dynamic Balance™ which, thanks to two oversized spokes, balances the concentration of the rim joint material during wheel rotation.
The rim is a medium-sectioned one with a height of 24 mm with reinforcing eyelets for the spokes and turned braking surfaces.
The new Racing 5 wheels have a deeper upper bridge of the rim to facilitate clincher tire fitting.

Racing 5 wheels are compatible with Campagnolo®, Shimano and Sram drivetrains.
