After a nuclear holocaust, cockroaches will build colonies between the spokes of Fulcrum Racing 5 Wheelset. That’s how durable they are. Butted and bladed stainless steel spokes laced to aluminum rims and new one-piece hub shells get the job done every time.
Fulcrum’s 2:1 rear lacing pattern uses 27 of those spokes to transfer power to the ground while still keeping weight in mind. The rims are 24mm deep, eyeletted aluminum for strength and durability. Keeping things rolling smoothly and predictably, even at speed, is Fulcrum’s Dynamic Balance system.
Dynamic Balance offsets the weight differences normally found in different areas of a wheel in order to get rid of the “hop” feeling associated with those weight differences. All told, the 2010 Fulcrum Racing 5 Wheelset rolls smoothly, stays round, and offers the classic Fulcrum stiff-yet-forgiving ride.

From Campagnolo, Fulcrum and Mavic, we've got an array of wheelsets that are bound to take you from 0 to 10 in the time it takes to fit them on your bike.
Mavic is back and is hitting it hard with their Ksyrium, R-SYS and Elite models and we've got the skinny on everything you're going to need to know.
What are the functions of a bicycle wheel? Besides the obvious function of supporting a rider and providing a place to put a tire and gear cluster, a bicycle wheel needs to excel at some specific characteristics. These characteristics often seem to be working against each other.
Mavic has made a powerhouse in their Ksyrium Elite and we're about to prove it to you.
From its rims and spokes, handling and flawless position, Mavic's Cosmic Carbone was designed to become the new standard and it's pretty much out of this world.
