Fulcrum or Campagnolo Wheelset ?
Moderator: robbosmans
Hello guys,
I have a Cannondale 2014 SuperSix Hi Mod Frameset (Black/Grey) and i need help to choose between 2 options of wheelset to buy. In my opinion both of them match colors with the frame. I am going to use Tubeless and i use a Shimano Ultegra Cassette.
I am going to use a pair of Hutchinson Intensive 2 Tubeless 700x25 tires.
Option 1- Fulcrum Racing Zero 2 Way Fit Black - $ 980.00
Option 2- Campagnolo Shamal Ultra 2-Way Fit Wheelset Black Label - $ 850.00 - If i choose this option i will have to convert the hub to accept shimano because Shamal is campy only.
+ $ 90.00 Shimano 11 Speed OS Freehub = $ 940,00
Thanks !

Difference is in lacing rear wheel only. Plus you can buy Shamal's with Shimano freehub, it comes with S or C .
I would choose Fulcrum; just in case (of broken spoke f.e. ) easier truing, next thing is #g lacing : some people like it , some prefer mre "classic" look of wheel.
In case of performance, weight, durability : no difference between.

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that

Thank you very much.
I bought the Fulcrum Racing Zero 2 minutes ago.
I have been using the Fulcrum Racing zeros for approx 3 months now, fitted with Michelin Pro 4 25mms. These tyres seem " massive" but ride beautifully. Is there another tyre option as the clearance with the fork and brake seem just a little fine, as discussed here by a few.

I am thinking about using the Hutchinson Intensive 2 Tubeless 700x25 tires. Do you know anything about them ?
Think that the Fulcrum Zeros are not tubeless compatible or at least that is what i have read. This doesn't mean you cannot use them but fulcrum have not given them their kiss of approval. Have never used Hutchinson tyres but knew a few racers that swore by them
Needless comment.
Happens a lot these days on this forum that people think they have read somewhere something . . .
Simply go to the site of the manufacturer and look under specs.
But an informed person just knows what 2 Way Fit means.

Note
Some Campa/Fulcrum wheels come in diff versions. With and without two way fit.

Congrats on the new wheels.
In my experience, Hutchinson Intensive tires tend to be true to size. In fact, i remember mine bring slightly undersized when mounted on Zonda 2-Way Fit wheels. Michelin Pro 4 tires on the other hand are enormous. On a 15C internal width rim, I measured a 25 mm tire at 27.8 mm.
