Fulcrum WIND 40 DB HG Wheelset with Free GP5000 Tyres & Tubes

The combination of attention to aerodynamics and versatility creates Wind 40 DB.It's natural to point out that the design of the 40 mm rim is the direct descendant of the 55 profile: all the solutions developed for the higher profile have been included here, in a less specialised version.So 40 mm, a light rim, created by the superposition of wide, modern unidirectional layers, with a pronounced profile (8 mm radius): innovative shapes, designed to blend with the tyre in a single element capable of eliminating turbulence, avoiding interrupting the flow of air that meets the wheel during the race.But 40 mm also means versatility, because it is generally one of the sizes most appreciated by those who do not want to overdo things, but want an excellent wheel uphill, stiff and snappy, precise when riding. The system is completed with aluminium hubs, designed at the CNC, which support 24 "straight pull" spokes, guaranteeing maximum overall rigidity, both in acceleration and when braking, without influences due to the asymmetric nature of the forces coming from the disc and cogset.Wind 40 DB is certainly the multi-purpose choice, with a strong focus on aerodynamics, to be fast, very fast, uphill, fast, very fast, on the flat, and just as much so downhill.The unidirectional carbon fibre rim construction features Fulcrum Mo-Mag technology which allows for a completely sealed spoke bed to facilitate perfect tubeless integration, with a 19mm internal rim width perfectly suited to support 25 and 28c tyres. The 24 straight pull double butted spokes are threaded to each rim by hand using nipples which are moved into place with magnets in Fulcrums Italian wheel building facility. Asymmetric 2:1 spoke lacing with 16 spokes on the rear drive-side and 8 on the front non-drive side are optimised to best spread the stresses generated by the rear hub driver body and front disc rotor. The wheelset is completed with aluminium hubs.Tubeless Ready using Fulcrum's 2-Way Fit system,Discipline: Road / Triathlon,Brake Fitting: Centre Lock,Weight: 1620 g,Rim Material: Carbon,Rim Height: Front and rear: 40 mm,Rim Width: 27 mm,Internal Rim Width: 19 mm,Tyre Width: From 23 mm to 50 mm,Front Wheel Spokes: 24 (16 left - 8 right),Rear Wheel Spokes: 24 (8 left - 16 right),Spoke Material: Stainless steel, double butted,Hubs: Aluminum, Aluminum flanges,Bearings: Sealed cartridge bearings.Wheel/Tyre Bundle includes Grand Prix 5000 Foldable 700x25 tyres and Continental Race 28 60mm tubesGrand Prix 5000 TyreThe best allrounder in the field, brought to a whole new performance level.

With the legendary BlackChili Compound, Conti have answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling. Regular test wins confirm the measureable and noticeable advantages for the cyclist, established in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials guarantee unique performance,Active Comfort : The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tyre construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride.,Lazer Grip, to make you one with the road. The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.,Vectran™: The benchmark in puncture protection Vectran™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk like Vectran™ has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran™ Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance..
