Anyone had any experience of Fulcrum Red Metal wheels? i.e engagement, durability, rolling resistance. Compared to say Hope Pro2 Evo’s.?

Only ask, as looking so move on from my Hope’s.

Thoughts.

I’ve owned both and now only ride Fulcrum. The first set were Red Metal 1s. The second set are Red Metal 1 XLs. The reason for the change was new build and needed 15mm axle.
They spin beautifully, are a good weight, stiff and very well sealed. The bearings far out last the bearings in the Hope wheels.
Typical bearing cost is £20 per wheel, spokes are expensive at about £3. The last time I bought them, I bought a bag of 10 so I had spares (I’d only broken one though and soon after sold the wheels).

There are some bargains to be had late summer so if you can I’d suggest waiting. Think I paid £350 for my RM1 XLs in Sept 2011.

Cheers for the info, I’ll keep my eye out.
I’m currently on my second freehub with the pro2’s (even with an alu spider cassette)..
