Description

Racing 5 wheels are designed to be used on a daily basis and for training purposes. An great product offered by Fulcrum® that guarantees an excellent performance/price ratio. The hubs are oversized and provided with flanges for blade hammer-head spokes. Smoothness is ensured by sealed high-quality bearings and they have a new single-piece body which incorporates the freewheel body and pawl carrier in a single component with a considerable reduction of weight.

The spokes have blade hammer-heads of the Aero type and differentiated thickness, 20 in the front wheel and 24 in the rear wheel. There is radial spoking for the front wheel and the patented Fulcrum® 2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke Ratio for the rear wheel. Also unchanged is the presence of Dynamic Balance™ which, thanks to two oversized spokes, balances the concentration of the rim joint material during wheel rotation.

The rim is a medium-sectioned one with a height of 24 mm with reinforcing eyelets for the spokes and turned braking surfaces. The new Racing 5 wheels have a deeper upper bridge of the rim to facilitate clincher tyre fitting.

Customer Reviews

Fulcrum Racing 5 Clincher Wheelset 2012 4.7 5 161 161
stiffer than shimano 105 grade wheel Before I bought this wheel set, I had used shimano 105 grade wheel set. Most of Shimano wheel series is not so stiff that sometimes when I ride in Dancing Style, the wheels whipped and rims touch the break sues. This whipping is annoying for me. So I changed to use Fulcrum wheels. and it's enough good for the cost. Living in Japan, Shimano wheels are relatively available, but the price is higher than the Fulcrums in Wiggle. So, it's a good buy for me. 03 July 2010
Nice wheels but.... Had the same wheels since I bought the bike 6 years ago, so thought I'd invest in some new wheels: Pro. Good Quality, smooth, look good Cons. Weight and noise (freewheeling) Overall. If I had more money to spend I would have gone for some better, but fine for weekend\evening use. 02 July 2010
Fulcrum racing 5 road wheels Great wheel. Stiff, reliable and simple to maintain. Spokes are easily replaced from most LBS. Hubs run smoothly and rims will not wear out too quickley like other lightweight alternatives. Although you may carry some additional weight with these, this is outweighed by the reliability and all round use. 30 June 2010
Great! I haven't had these for that long but so far they have been a great set of wheels. I upgraded from a set of shimano r500's and I noticed the difference strait away. Sealed bearing decrease the rolling resistance and the relatively small weight change has meant a lot to decreasing the rotational intertia (speeds up and slows down better). If you like the loud free-wheel these wheels are the shot. Fantastic value, I'm pretty sure they are about 1/3 of the retail price. 30 June 2010

The instructions state that the R5s are not compatible with Shimano 10s starting with 12 teeth. I use a 12/27 does this mean that it won't fit?

Answer: 
You will need to place one spacer against the end of the freehub before adding your 9 speed cassette to a 10 speed hub.
Officially you need a 2.56mm spacer, so this one should do as there's always a bit of an allowance.

You can use a 8, 9 or 10 speed cassette on the Shimano freehub. You only need a cassette spacer if you want to use a 7 speed cassette.
