Fulcrum Racing 5 LG Disc

[Calvin27]

Anyone bought these and tried them?

Looks like good value but I'm not 100% convinced on the 21 spoke count, especially for a disc brake. I am 78-85kg depending on whether maccas is running the monopoloy promotion.

Bike bug has them cheap.

that was posted a while ago but been on my roadie since about then. Going fine, stays true amazingly.

Anyway - i might pass on these. They're probably arent a huge improvement on the Giant P-R2.

And going on my experience with upgrading my Fuji Team Comp wheels... I'll be damned - they're nice enough, roll and accelerate lovely - but they do slow down quicker on the flat than the old wheels by not having the same momentum.

*Maybe* one day, i'll take my Team Comp out to a criterium... but it's hard for me to see much advantage by putting these on my Defy endurance bike.

Mine were replacing monster weigh wheels that also somehow never stayed true.
