FULCRUM wheelset 28" Wind 42 Carbon Center Lock
As an offshoot of Fulcrum's Speed wheel series, the Wind 42 incorporates numerous proven Fulcrum technologies to provide an even more direct and comfortable riding experience than its predecessors. The handling of these versatile and comfortable wheels has been improved by 22 percent and responsiveness has also been increased by 10 percent. Thanks to their robustness, the Wind 42 are not only at home on the road, but are also ideally suited for use in light off-road terrain. Thanks to the widened inner rim width of 23 millimetres, the wheels are ideally suited for use with wide, modern road bike tires.
2:1 Two-to-One™ spoking pattern
This type of spoking greatly increases the rigidity of the wheel. Particularly when pedalling hard, there can be a lot of twisting at the rear, which costs you valuable energy. This is why double the number of spokes is used on the freehub side to better absorb and distribute the forces.
Undrilled rim bed - undrilled rim bed
By not drilling holes for the spoke nipples in the rim bed, the material retains its inner structure and can therefore be subjected to higher loads. This allows higher spoke tensions, which makes the wheel stiffer overall and allows you to accelerate faster.
Another advantage is better tubeless compatibility. Because the air cannot escape inwards through the closed base, the use of rim tape is unnecessary.
MoMag™ - magnetic nipple installation system
With the patented MoMag™ system, threading the spoke nipples is easy despite the closed rim base. They are inserted into the valve opening and guided into place using a magnet. This makes spoking and centering possible as usual.
