Tom from Fulcrum importers i-Ride has sent us this sneaky photo of one of the Team Merida riders’ bikes, featuring some secret new wheels from Fulcrum. Going off the photo, they’re carbon 29er wheels and they feature tubular (glue-on) tyres for light weight and lower pressures. And our spy tells us that the wheels are rumoured to weigh a mere 1100g a pair. We’ll let you know more when we hear.
