Fulcrum racing zero nite wheelset

[northvegas_12]

Hi All,

No doubt been covered before but just after a quick answer!

Am looking into buying a set... noticeable upgrade from stock fulcrum cex 7 wheels that came with my bike?

Also what does the hub sounds like on the wheelset, loud or quiet?

Thanks for that, just hard to gauge on the actual sound with it being through a video.

Appears that they aren't completely silent!

Mine were silent to start with, then they started making some noise after about 500kms, once the grease thinned down. Not super loud.

And the difference between 7s, 5s, 3s 1s and zeros is .... ??

I think its called the Princess and the Pea effect

The zero nites are all black! It's the badass effect.

I should know, I put Enves on the Cervelo cause they looked good. Like I'm gonna get any aero improv outta them

We're not all racing cyclists DD. Some of us just like our bikes to look good (in our eyes).....

Also the weight that I would save from upgrading! Hahaha

Just after a decent wheel set from the stock ones I have, plus also don't mind a nice click sound!

200-300g difference, a bit stiffer. But way better wheels out there for the money - depending on what he wants them for though.

What better wheels are there out there for this price range? Have found this wheelset for around the $1200 price mark, but am definitely open to input about better wheels etc. Probably better off spending the money on a power meter...

[DG1984]

Campy Eurus are probably better bang for buck ($682 on c r c down from $1000 at the moment). It really depends on the reason for needing new wheels though - if it's for the weight saving, eat less - it's cheaper.

A power meter might be helpful if you were training for something specific and needed the data.

I will have a look at those wheels, have considered the campy shamals, but most places have been sold out of the shimano freehub body.

If clicking is your goal, then see if you can find an old XTREME 1990 vintage trispoke. When I hit the bike path on my singlespeed, the bell becomes redundant. A quick freewheel and the Path walkers in a hundred metres radius all turn around. This thing is LOUD. Ridiculously loud. Embarrassingly loud. And (fat and old) its also BLACK !
Its like putting a hot dog muffler on your Hyundai Excel. Instant head turning action

Hot dog? Showing your age there DD My brother had one on his EJ.

I'm strangely attracted to the bars on that ss

Girls bars mate. I love them.
If the OP wants blingy wheels, no need to spend a fortune. Exhibit A. Front wheel cost me $70 and the rear was given to me for free.
Look great and make loud clicks

I'm not after blingy wheels, just upgrading.

However I will now be sourcing a tri spoke rear wheel! lol

I got the price wrong with the Campy Eurus on c r c sorry - my VPN was on so was showing US pricing not AU.

If I'm not mistaken the Fulrum Racing Zero Nite use the same USB ceramic hubs as my Bora One's (not Ultras).

That being so then I would consider the hubs to be fairly quiet and run very very smoothly.

If you want to save some money then you can go with the Racing Zero (without the dark coating) - but do agree the black rims make the bike aesthetics look very cool.
