. The Fulcrum Racing Zero Nite Clincher Road Wheelset combines a very engaging total black look with high-end specs, including a special braking surface that creates new standards for braking on aluminium road bike wheels The Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation process gives the braking surface very special characteristics regarding hardness & wear resistance. This is possible thanks to a very fine & compact matrix of alpha & microcrystalline gamma alumina & amorphous alumina embedded on the surface. Thanks to the high hardness of the layer, these wheels present excellent wear resistance The braking surface on these wheels is created by turning, which allows superior braking efficiency. Specific blue brake pads should be used with the Fulcrum Racing Zero Nite Clincher Road Wheelset.A special triple milling process makes it possible to reduce the peripheral weight of the rims & to increase the responsiveness of the wheels They have a differentiated rim
Height: 27mm at the front to have good handling & 30mm at the rear to transfer all of the power to the wheel These wheels feature an oversized aluminium flange & Two-to-One™ technology on the rear, which is the doubling of the spokes on the cassette side, providing greater torsional stiffness & therefore greater responsiveness to every pedal stroke. This means greater efficiency in the transmission of power by minimising flex The front hub has been redesigned to be smaller & also lighter. Smoothness is ensured by the famous USB™ ceramic bearings. The cup & cone technology maintains the most efficient angle of contact between the bearings & the bearing seat, increasing the smoothness & durability.A careful choice of aluminium spokes is used to ensure optimal rigidity & special attention has been paid to aerodynamics. Aluminium nipples have been used & thanks to the lightweight, they reduce the peripheral mass further increasing the responsiveness of the wheels
