The Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels have arrived!
With pre-built wheels, the front wheel's game plan is already set in stone.
"Radial lacing, built up tight, and light as possible. That's it."
The standout feature of Fulcrum is this high-low flange design.
I've already written about what this delivers.
The spoke on the far right is angled toward the hedgehog direction.
The enlarged hub flange diameter seems really solid against distortion when the sprocket gets twisted forward hard.
Beyond rim stiffness and spoke tension, the actual feel of "this wheel rides great!" comes down to theoretical refinements in details like these.
As usual, there was a ton of debris from both wheels.
There was more debris from the thread-locking compound than from the cutting itself.
