2:1 Two-To-One

Every push on the pedals from the rider will force most of that energy on the drive side of the rear wheel. To combat this loss of rim tension and power transfer, Fulcrum has solved this cycling problem with their 2:1 spoke ratio pattern by doubling the spoke count in crucial zones on the wheel.

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.

Rim Dynamic Balance

Simple and Elegant, the weight of the rim gasket is balanced on the opposite side with an item of similar weight.

 

About the Fulcrum brand

There is a huge Italian tradition of cycle engineering excellence and Fulcrum was born from the very heart of it. Competition testing with world level athletes and the expertise Fulcrum's engineers possess means Fulcrum have become known for developing unsurpassed products with excellent performance, durability and market leading innovation. Key technologies pioneered by Fulcrum include 2:1 Two-to-Oneā„¢ Spoke Ratio, which delivers incredible power transfer by doubling the spokes on the critical drive side of the wheels so no energy is wasted. Fulcrum has also focused on class leading rolling resistance through their CULT and USB Bearing Technologies which use ceramic bearings and cutting edge surface technology to massively reduce friction. CULT ball bearings are 9 times smoother than wheels with traditional bearings. All this innovation and technology has produced amazing results for everyday riders and pros alike with 4 world champions in just 6 years, Boonen, Bettini (x2) and Ballan.

Fulcrum Racing 6 C17 Road Wheelset is rated 3.1 out of 5 by 7.
Rated 1 out of 5 by massey1994 from Light but not worth the lack of quality These wheels look good and are very light for their price. However, this does not count for much if they only last 3 months. Twice the spokes have come loose/broken on the rear wheel in that time and both wheels are now buckled in places. I am only riding them on good surfaces, mainly bike lanes in London, I'm extremely careful to not hit any pot holes or go over anything that may cause even minor damage because I was wary of their quality (plus I weigh 75kg so they're not exactly under much strain). I recommend either spending a bit more money on better quality wheels if you want them to be light, or if you can't afford to do so (like me), go for strong and sturdy!

Rated 3 out of 5 by moreades from Looks good, feels good, questionable quality I've had these wheels before, and they were great. They lasted about 2 years with no hassle, so when they were on sale I bought them again. After two weeks of riding a spoke broke on the rear wheel. Rather than send them back and wait three weeks for new wheels (thanks COVID) I asked Wiggle if they would give me credit on the rear wheel while I got my local bike shop to repair it (1 week). Wiggle said they would not give credit due to wear and tear but they would reimburse me for the wheel repair as a gesture of "good will". I paid $200 for the wheels and they gave me $28 for the repair. In my opinion that was inadequate.

Rated 2 out of 5 by TrainingforfirstTri from Nice wheels, but rattly due to loose swarf A good-value wheelset but beware of swarf left inside the rim. The only way to remove it is to spend a considerable amount of time shaking the rims to try and get the debris over the valve hole and then fiddling around with tweezers trying to pull all the bits out! Annoying.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Coco87 from Poor quality These wheels are of very poor quality. After ~8 weeks of use I struggled to remove the cassette from the rear hub because of the significant wear on the freehub body where the cassette had cut into the freehub body. The freehub is made from very soft metal. Also a spoke snapped mid-ride as I rode at a leisurely pace to the local shop. May be a coincidence but this is the first time I've had a snapped spoke in ~15,000 miles of riding. Also for comparison, my last freehub lasted 5 years before it had to be replaced. So overall, very poor wheels. To add insult to injury, Wiggle are refusing to refund/repair/replace.

Will these take a 23 width tyre please?

Asked by: Roundandblack
This will be suitable.

What does "only for double rim walls" mean?

Can be seen on the inside of the wheel if you zoom in to picture 5
Asked by: Ade66
That applies to the rim tape only. Double wall rims means that the spoke holes are concealed by a second layer of alloy. The rime tape included with these wheels is not to be used on single wall rims where the spoke holes are visible.

Can I use this wheelset with a Shimano Tiagra 9 speed cassette?

Will I need a spacer? If so, can you please link to an appropriate width part. Many thanks.
Asked by: Des1966
The Shimano option will be compatible with your cassette. You will need the following spacer.

Rim wear indicators and bearings

Hi, do these rims have any kind of wear indicator? And what type of bearings do the hubs use? Thanks
Asked by: Coco87
This wheelset features sealed bearings, the wear indicator in the braking surface will appear when they need to be changed.
Answered by: WiggleJC
Date published: 2020-01-19

Are these wheels sealed?

Asked by: Adam22
The manufacture lists the wheels as having "Industrial bearings system".

Will I need to buy a spacer for my shimano 10 speed cassette to fit on these?

Asked by: stuartw82
Yes, but a spacer was sent with these wheels on my order.

Will these fit on an orbea orca m20 2018?

I am looking at getting the shimano 105 r7000 groupset (11 speed) for my above mentioned bike. Would this be a compatible set up? The inside of the dropouts are 130mm apart
Asked by: Anonymous
My wheels were 130mm over the locknuts and are a standard quick release fitting. i.e. not a thru axle. So if your old wheel is the same then yes they should fit.
Answered by: Patbike

Axel size

Do these wheels come with a 17mm Axel like higher end Fulcrum wheels, or is it the smaller version found on lower end wheels?
Asked by: flopstocks
These are not thru axle but standard QR front and rear.

Asked by: SeanBon
Yes, they are supplied with front and rear skewers.
