Fulcrum Racing 3 C17 Road Wheel Set 28" HG 8-11-speed Clincher Black

Allround, Endurance, Training, Sporty… countless adjectives that fit this model, which has always been considered the ideal solution for the middle class with character.
The Racing 3 offers certainty, and that’s how it should remain, even if all its details have been updated.

First and foremost is probably the most important innovation, the new aluminium rim (T6 Pre-aged) for conventional brakes with 17 mm channel, which has new shapes and a harmonious milling that follows the circumference to eliminate every unnecessary gram. This creates a very pronounced central reinforcing rib.
It is a solid wheel. Aero steel spokes provide a degree of vibration damping, making the Racing 3 suitable for the long haul. Smooth-running cone bearings guarantee lasting ease of maintenance.
No compromise, but consistent, consistent and stylish.

This wheel suits two types of cycling fans: cyclists who use it for training rides without sacrificing quality cycling, or passionate cyclists who love kilometre-long rides and want to count on the versatility and comfort that aluminium construction with steel spokes can guarantee.

RDB Rim dynamic Balance
The concept is simple and ingenious: balance the mass of the rim joint with a mass of equal value positioned exactly opposite.

2:1 TWO-TO-ONE
At the moment the rider pedals at full power, the rotation of the sprocket set causes the spokes to yield at the freewheel with subsequent loss of tension in the rim. This causes excessive bending of the whole and this inevitably means a loss of energy.
Fulcrum has solved this classic problem in cycling with its patent 2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio, that is, by doubling the number of spokes in the critical areas.

MOMAG
What is MoMag? A magnet and a lot of expertise. This is how the patent of the tested “Mounting Magnet” system, i.e. MoMag, was born.

Anti-Rotation System
This new system takes the concept of the lacing system to a new level of performance.
Fulcrum’s technicians have redesigned the spokes and the hub shells to create a solid and solid unit. In this way, the spokes
a) they never lose their initial tension, keeping the wheel perfectly responsive and centred, and
b) that they remain in the position developed in the wind tunnel to ensure the best possible aerodynamics.

F.I.C. Fulcrum Identification Card – 100% Handmade Quality
Fulcrum, since its creation, has been characterised by an approach that continues to this day: Design, prototyping and industrialisation of all wheels with the red “F”. Every single wheel component, the materials selected and the technologies used are the tangible result of the efforts Fulcrum makes every day to offer you the highest performance and reliability.

Wide Rim Tech
The Fulcrum R&D department, following the wishes of the racing teams, worked to create rims with a greater width in relation to the past, starting from about 4 mm more than the previous ones. This technical choice makes it possible to offer the ideal support base for 25/28 mm tyres, the preferred sizes today. In this way, stability, optimal handling and high comfort are guaranteed.

Cup & Cone
The cup & cone bearing differs from the classic cartridge bearings in that it works in perfect alignment with the corresponding forces, weight and thrusts coming from the frame, since the balls run on a groove positioned in direct opposition to these forces.
