Looking at replacing the Fulcrum 900 set on my Planet X Evo and these seem available at an agreeable price (just over half the price of the Hunt Aero Lights I bought for the SS).
Not a massive weight saving but but better aero I suspect than the current set.
Anyone got any views on them?
Are you talking about disc brake wheelset and the Evo Disc bike, so need 12x100/12x142 thru axle?
Yep. Just bought the set with OE graphics for £190.
I've just put a set (well the 400's which are essentially the same) on the boys road/ cx bike, on top of looking ace they're lighter than the 900's and the shiny end caps / axle bits look ace too, and they have that lovely deep section type noise.
Schwiiiing!
Mine are bit more stealth.
How did the new wheels change the feel of the bike? I have one as well and the wheels feel like boat anchors to me so interested if it's a quick improvement in speed?
They arrive today and my tubeless valves arrive tomorrow so hopefully by Friday I’ll have an answer.
Cheers!
Well they're on the bike and look good. Just had a ride up and down the road to get a feel for pressures. I'm running 50mm of sealant in each wheel and the weight saving seems to be about 100g each end. Out for a proper ride after my breakfast has settled.
The new wheels look good. Do they perform better than the stock Fulcrums?
I’ve got no Strava numbers to back it up but in combination with the Pro Ones set up tubeless it all feels better, but that’s possibly just new toy acquisition syndrome. These gusty cold winds make it hard to be objective. They certainly haven’t made it worse and it feels less ‘dead’. That may just be the tyres.
Nothing wrong with the 'new toy syndrome'! To be fair, I'll just pedal harder for the time being (set some PR's today chasing my buddies on their mega-buck Specialized bikes) - all good training. Overall love the bike and so happy to have discs on-road.
