FULCRUM RACING 3 Clincher Wheelset 2012

Handmade Aluminum Fulcrum Racing Road Wheel

The advantage is in the rim: no holes and therefore no rim tape, to the benefit of both stiffness and weight. The Racing 3 continues to represent the most reliable “travelling companion” for training rides and the “ideal partner” for any type of race.

The unique spoke design is Fulcrum's 2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke Ratio for a great looking wheel that has added stiffness in critical areas. When you push on the pedals, the rotational force on the sprocket induces a slackening of the freewheel spokes with a consequent loss of rim tension. This results in undesirable flex of the whole wheel and an unavoidable loss of energy. Fulcrum® has solved this classic cycling problem with its 2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke Ratio patent, by doubling the spokes in the critical zones. As a result there are two spokes which carry out the function of one, slackening and torsion are limited and the transfer of the athlete’s power is much more effective. Also, thanks to this system, spoke tensions are balanced more evenly between drive and non-drive sides and the fatigue life of the rim, hub and spokes is lengthened.

The milled rim has reduced peripheral weight for increased reactivity. Aluminum is used to make the axle and the hub to reduce the overall weight of the wheel.

Fulcrum has designed an advanced quick release system that allows you to modulate the pressure necessary for heightened sensitivity to find the proper closure for the block. Easy to use, with a material resistant to wear and tear, rust, and pressure.

The steel balls with cup and cone bearings reduce friction and are easily adjusted. 

The MoMag™ mounting system is one of the most convenient technologies implemented in this tire by Fulcrum. The Mounting Magnet system uses a magnet to guide the nipples, once inserted inside the rim via the valve hole, to the point of connection with the spoke. This simple but ingenious system makes it possible to have a wheel without holes on the upper bridge, but with spokes tensioned by traditional nipples!

Advantages: No holes on the rim means that the rim is uniform at every point, free from stress points or zones of weakness and, for the clincher profiles no rim tape is required, to the benefit of weight reduction. The advantages are immediately clear: greater rim lifetime, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility to give the spokes greater tension, and greater stiffness which, in terms of performance, mean greater reactivity and acceleration.

Compatible with clincher tires. Available with Campy or Shimano Cassette Body.

Racing 3

• Milled rim – the machining reduces the peripheral weight of the rim resulting in an extremely reactive wheelset
• Dynamic Balance rim keeps the wheel stable at high speeds
• The weight of the rim is balanced and always the same at every point with respect to the diametrically opposite side
• MoMag allows the external profile of the rim to be free of holes increasing the structural resistance, making rim tape unnecessary and reducing the rotating weight of the wheel
• Double butted steel spokes with aero profile for maximum aerodynamic penetration
• Anti-rotation spoke system keeps spokes consistently in the most aerodynamic position
• 2:1 spoke ratio on the rear wheel provides greater torsional stiffness and rigidity
• Oversized aluminum hub body provides a high degree of lateral stiffness while reducing weight
• High quality steel ball, cup-and-cone bearings
• Aluminum axle reduces weight
• Oversized drive-side flange provides greater torsional stiffness
• Completely redesigned quick release with eccentric-closure system
