  • They are not the lightest. But I got them as a bullet proof winter wheel and at around £200 they were a good price for a branded wheel.
    No problems with crosswinds, as you say the profile is not that deep.
    I run a 25mm tyres and they fit well but as with all Fulcrums they are a tight fit in the first instance.
    They are coming into their second winter and I've done nothing to them over the summer and they are sweet.
    There is a CX version with double bearing covers if you are worried at all about water ingress but I've seen none on mine.
    Just to say a short valve is just not long enough to be able to fit a pump on even though it is visible. Lesson learned while on a very cold and wet ride.
    I also put a little tape around the valve to stop it rattling against the rim.

  • Ta, thanks for the feedback. Good shout on the depth with reference valve length, something to bear in mind. I was tossing up between the quattros and the 5's, and since @amey jumped in the Hunts look quite nice too, although for fair bit more £££

  • I found the ksyrium disc elite 2017 wheels on wiggle for an unreal wheelset price of £330. That's for the higher end ksyrium and not the weird 1900g £350 set mavic do. What's more confusing is they have those on there for the same price.

    One or two of front and rear left so thought I'd share an unreal bargain.

  • 17mm internal .. next.

  • Sorry they don't follow the wide hype. I'll get over it though. ;)

  • They also look like thru axle, wide is no hype, that shit is real ..I ride narrow rims too .. can't wait for them to die so can go wide

  • How wide do you want it?! R460 is 18mm no?

  • He wants a 21mm internal width. Cos it's the cool thing now. #hype

    @amey
    The wheels are thru axle. Adapters available to convert to QR in 30 seconds. Or so I'm led to believe. Update to come.

  • I kind of want a pair. Am I wrong?

    I really want a pair of the carbon ones but too pricey

  • I think my cosmics are like 13mm internal or something stupid. I haven't died / crashed yet.

  • A pair of the ksyrium? They're £500 plus everywhere else. I can't understand how wiggle have priced them at this but not gonna complain. They shall be with me on Friday!

  • Now that I require a new front rim it seems to me that the DT460 and Kinlin22 are probably both good rims but as well rather unpleasing to the eyes. Why has nobody mentioned that before? 28h HED Belgium or Plus anybody got a spare?

  • Pacencti sl23's are another

  • Yes they not have silly edges only the braking surface is too small.

  • Zipp, u OK hun?

  • To Gruyere or not Gruyere.

  • Zipp you can talk to people about this and get help
    Don't suffer in silence

  • That shit is whack

  • £10 says you have it on pre-order

  • If it's fast I suspect people will come round to the looks. Be interesting to see some independent test data.

  • They got a disc version?!

  • Dat ain't no disc bredder

  • That now makes me think might the Dura Ace cranks that @dick is selling take any chainrings? ie you can change the 53/39 and go compact?

  • Course you can - they're a proprietary 4 bolt 110BCD crank arm that is used throughout the Dura Ace 9000 range from the 50/34 to 55/42 versions.

    There are lots of manufacturers that sell the 4-bolt style chain rings in a veriety of different sizes.

    However, the whole bike sold the beginning of the week!
