Fulcrum Red Metal 3 6-Bolt MTB Front Wheel Red Metal TM 3 is the tubeless tire for any terrain. Weighing in at a meager 1685g, it fears no climb just as its sturdy tubeless rim, overized hub & straight-head steel spokes make for a sturdy construction that gives you total control even on those tough descents Racing or training, rain or shine, singletrack or gravel path the Red Metal TM 3 is your perfect companion for the journey Ultra-Fit™ Tubeless: Imagine the rim & tyre as a single unit composed of two materials. This is what we wanted to achieve conceptually with Ultra-Fit™ Tubeless technology. The rim was developed during the design stage to obtain perfect adherence with the tyre. The consequent elimination of friction makes it possible to improve performance considerably. Energy dispersion is drastically reduced by the tubeless tyre. The advantages are indisputable even in terms of practicality. Fitting the tyre is facilitated by the form of the rim while two tracks in the rim groove help keep the type perfectly positioned at all times The 2:1 Two-to-One™ system: Has been used for all the rear wheels & for the first time Fulcrum® has also extended their advantages to all the front wheels fitted with disc brakes. The doubling of the spokes on the critical side makes it possible to reduce the unit load borne by each spoke as the spokes themselves are no longer subject to the mechanical stress resulting from the different disc. Overcoming this drawback the spokes will be able to transfer the forces exerted at the rear by the pedalling traction & at the front by the torsion torque of braking, & give the front wheel previously unknown stability Mo Mag™: Mo Mag™ technology is integrated in wheels which do not have drilling of the top bridge of the rim. The nipples in these wheels are guided to their seat by employing a little magnet. Their accessibility from the outside makes it possible to carry out all the spoke tensioning & replacement operations conveniently. The absence of holes on the rim permits all the original strength to be maintained as well as the use of tubeless tyres. The hermetically sealed valve ensures that the tubeless tyre is kept under pressure QR
