This consists of the spoke nipples, once mounted inside the rim via the valve hole, are “guided” to the point of connection with the spoke by the use of a magnet. This simple problem-solving system makes it possible to have wheels without spoke holes on the upper rim bridge, but still uses spokes tensioned by traditional nipples. The bonus of having no holes on the rim means that the rim is uniform & super-strong at every point, free from weakness, stress points & if wanting to run the wheel tubeless, no rim tape is required, & this also benefits weight reduction. The advantages are immediately clear: greater rim lifetime, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility to give the spokes greater tension, & greater stiffness which, in terms of performance, mean greater reactivity & acceleration. & not only that. The advantages make it extremely easy to work on & change spokes. Unrilled Rim Bed: Featuring no holes on the central section of the rim means that the rim is uniform at every point, free from critical areas subject to stress. The advantages are immediately clear: less weight, longer lasting rims, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility of giving the spokes more tension & more stiffness which, in terms of performance, means enhanced responsiveness & acceleration. 2:1 Two-To-One: Every push on the pedals from the rider will force most of that energy on the drive side of the rear wheel. To combat this loss of rim tension & power transfer, Fulcrum has solved this cycling problem with their 2:1 spoke ratio pattern by doubling the spoke count in crucial zones on the wheel. Anti-Rotation System: This system locks the spoke in place once the correct tension is achieved. Engineers at Fulcrum have designed this system to ensure the spokes never lose their initial tension & to remain in the position that has been proven to provide the perfect aerodynamic properties.
