2009 Fulcrum Race5 Road Wheels

Price:

• $180 for wheels with skewers, no cassette
• $230 for wheels with skewers and 12-27 Hyperglide cassette

Howdy folks. I have a set of Fulcrum Race5 road wheels to sell. They are current-model 2009’s with only about seven months of riding on them - not even enough to wear out one set of lightweight tires! The wheels are clean, true, and in perfect condition - the only wear is on the braking surface. I weight 162 pounds, do not race, and take exceptional care of my equipment.I have painstakingly removed all but one subtle decal from these wheels since I’m not a fan of bling stickers. The wheels include the rim strip and skewers and have reflective tape around both hubs. These are fitted with a Shimano hub and do not include the 12-27 CS-5600 cassette shown, though I will include it installed for an extra $50. These are the wheels and cassette that came with my new Rex.

Racing 5 Evolution wheels have takes such a leap forward that if it were not for the name Racing5, which links them to their predecessors, it would be hard to think of it as a simple evolution of the same model.
The scale now shows 1,755 grams - 90 grams less than the 2006 version.

• The hubs are completely new: oversized and provided with flanges for blade hammer-head spokes.
• Hub smoothness is ensured by sealed high-quality bearings
• A new single piece lighter weight freehub body is used.
• The wheels spoke count has been reduced and aero bladed spokes are now used.
• Front wheel with 20 aero bladed spokes in radial pattern
• Rear wheel with 24 aero bladed spokes in Fulcrum's 2:1 Spoke Ratio
• Dynamic Balance which, thanks to two oversized spokes, balances the concentration of the rim joint material during wheel rotation.
• 24mm medium aero rim profile
• Supplied with skewers
• Weight - 776g front, 980g rear

Here are the wheels new with the factory stickers.

And here they are ready for sale (except with the cluster still on).
