Hi Gang,
I was looking at the Fulcrum 5 wheels and noticed that according to Ribble, the CX and LG versions weigh the same. Has anyone ridden both and have a take on how they differ?
CX just refers to having better sealed bearings, therefore suitable for CX racing.
Yep, the CX ones just have seals on both sides of the bearings. The standard ones just on the outside. No brainer to me for the CX versions if price is same. Or stick a decent pair of SKF bearings in once the first ones expire.
Yep, as above. To their credit, I have some LG Quattro's and the bearings are still fine after 2 years all weather use.
I'm still using 2007 Eurus G3 wheels which have done 6 years road only then 4 years of CX. Apart from the braking surface beginning to get uncomfortably concave I've never done anything to them apart from clean them. The bearings are fine still.
