[Scotty55]

Good Day All

 

PLease can you send me your thoughts on the Fulcrum Red Metal 3 MTB Wheels?

[Cav']

Made by Campagnolo and are quite light.

RRP was 4795

Now its 2400 at Solomons

 

And its a tubeless wheel

 

Good Value

They are the TITS!

 

I had to pay more than Dbl to get a wheelset of the same caliber.

 

Solid wheels - never had to true them once and super stiff!

 

Cant go wrong!

That's a great price.

Great wheels! Mine holds up no matter what I throw at it.

[El Dodgius Bastardo]

At that price you'd be silly not to take them. Extremely happy with mine

Nice wheels but the bearings are proprietary and hideously expensive - the most expensive wheel bearings on the market.

How long should they last?

 

Any idea of the price?

Also looking at a set of these wheels, any idea on bearing replacement pricing? Also, what do spokes cost?

[Johan Bornman]

They are nice and oversized, especially the odd one out on each wheel.

 

A set front and rear is close to R1000, if not more, IIRC.

 

They last long, the seals are good and Campag/Fulcrum know what they doing.

 

However, submerge them and they will go the way of a drowned rat. No wheels should be submerged in water.

Thanks Johan, in your opinion then are they still worth it? Especially from a long term use point of view... I am thinking about freewheel body etc as well.

[Redlight]

Bearings front and rear for a 135i cost R1065

How the F can it cost 1k are the f. J
