Fulcrum Racing

Heyall

 

I'm hoping the hubbers have a local, or international lead on spares for the hubs of the Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels. Googling turned into a major run around with nothing specific. The fulcrum website is as helpful a SANRAL toll.

ASG. BUT... make sure you know beforehand exactly what you need. I ordered hub conversion kits through a cycle store, waited 6+ weeks only to be told it doesn't fit centre lock. And no one at either the shop or ASG knew or advised me. Got a refund, so was fine. Just do your own homework.

I've just been through this with Racing 1's, and when quoted around R4k for bearings and a hub from the local importers I had to find an alternative. Since Fulcrum is just Campag kit with another sticker, you can have a look at ordering the Campy equivalent.

 

Racing 0/1/3's all use the same parts kit (although there is a ceramic option for the Racing 0's - I think). The parts you are looking for are RS-100, which is the bearing kit (Campag code: HB-RE100). The freebody parts kit is RS-005 (Campag code FH-BO015).

The Camapg option is slightly cheaper in this country, but it's quite considerably cheaper overseas. Places I found include xxcycle.com (no it's not a porn cycling site, and they do get good reviews), and the usual UK sites, depending on stock - Wiggle, ChainReaction, Evans, Probikekit.

 

I eventually used the freebody and bearing of an old Racing 3 wheel that I had lying around, while I waited for the parts to arrive.

now u want to wake up Velouria! :P

 

hahhah. i say that cos i just mailed ASG. Seems it could take a pound of serious flesh to service these babies. but yes, the campag kit will do just fine. Thought ASG would have it as well, but for the price of flesh..!?

 

ok. scouting now. mucho gracias!

I don't hang out here that much any more ;)

 

J&J Cycling are the local Campag guys - cheaper than ASG, but still costs a small organ. I think it cost me R1300 to bring the parts kit in from overseas...

 

Can't fault Fulcrum wheels - did over 35000kms on the original bearings, and they are still as true as the day I bought them!

for sure, loving me Fulcrums. There's a very slight play in the front hub. I've tightened the QR a bit, and that seemed to have helped. But it got me thinking bout servicing now that's winter and the road bike is going under the covers while i play in the dirt.

 

Such a pity because I've just recently placed an order from the germans, and they have that very Campag kit in stock. meh.

 

dang, that kit of 4 ceramic bearings is going to cost a bit of flesh... yikes.!

To fix the play, all you need is an allen key. Leave the wheel in the drop outs, loosen that little screw on the bearing cover (see pic below) a couple of turns, and turn the cap until it is finger tight - adjusting the preload. Once the play is gone, tighten the little screw again. Over tightening the QR will cause damage.

Oh yes - those parts numbers I suggested are for the Campag compatible freebody. Not sure what the Shimano code is (didn't even think Shimano).

no worries. I kept Shimano in mind as that's what I require. :)
