A lightweight clincher wheelset with milled alloy rims and a MoMag inner profile to eliminate rim tape and reduce rotational mass, the Fulcrum Racing 3 C17 road wheels feature an oversized drive side flange and a 2:1 spoke ratio for quick handling out on the tarmac. Rim Dynamic Balance Simple and Elegant, the weight of the rim gasket on the Fulcrum Racing 3 C17 Clincher Wheelset is balanced on the opposite side with an item of similar weight. 2:1 Two-To-One Every push on the pedals from the rider will force most of that energy on the drive side of the rear wheel. To combat this loss of rim tension and power transfer, Fulcrum has solved this cycling problem with their 2:1 spoke ratio pattern by doubling the spoke count in crucial zones on the wheel. Anti-Rotation System This system locks the spoke in place once the correct tension is achieved. Engineers at Fulcrum have designed this system to ensure the spokes never lose their initial tension and remain in the position that has been proven to provide the perfect aerodynamic properties. Additional Features: Milled rims for reduced peripheral weight and increased reactivity Differentiated front and rear rim height for agility and power transfer Oversized hub body in aluminium, painted white, gives strong lateral stiffness while reducing weight Overside flange 9% more torsional stiffness
The Tufo Calibra Lite is a lightweight tyre designed for Time Trial use & racing when dry & on good smooth road surfaces. In spite of super low weight, this tyre has good puncture resistance & the slick tread contributes to low rolling resistance.
The Tufo Calibra is an all-round racing or training tyre and features a fine tread pattern and puncture proof ply. Together with activated silica tread compound, the Calibra provides excellent grip on wet or dry roads.
How Does the Tubular Clincher Tyre Work? When inflated, the tubular clincher (see image below), in the same way as a tubular, is pressed towards the rim. Simultaneously, the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tubular clincher against the rim as well as the possibility of the tubular clincher unseating. As the tubular clincher is inflated, the band side literally 'bite' into the rim shoulders. Benefits of Tufo's tubular clincher tyres: high inflation pressures - up to 15 bars (220 psi) without any damage to the rim walls, even in a case when the rim manufacturer specifies lower inflation pressures (the pressure is contained inside the tubular clincher and does not affect the rim wall), same riding quality as with tubular tyres, safe handling in case of punctures (the stability of a rider is not affected), the tubular clincher can be ridden when flat, and the fastest and easiest installation and dismantling without any tools.
Excite wheel assembly involves accurate and precise spoke tensioning and are mechanically stabilised to settle the component's position guaranteeing high quality.

This tyre also has an effective puncture protection system making it the rider's choice for endurance races and long training rides in good and bad weather conditions.
Aqua-flow Tread Aqua-Flow derives from car-tyre technology, introducing carefully shaped channels, or ‘sipes’, across the tyre’s tread, to drain water away and let the tyre grip the surface more effectively. Lightweight Nylon Casing Nylon is a robust and durable artificial fibre used by most manufacturers for utility tyre casings. Traditionally, it lacked the flexibility of the polycotton casings preferred by élite riders but was lighter in weight than polycotton threads. Now Vittoria has succeeded in engineering nylon yarn into their exclusive Nylon Plus 220 and 150 TPI weave, setting a new standard in each class of clincher tyres. Weight is cut by 10% over the previous best nylon casings, while road feel and rolling resistance approach closer to the top-performing polycotton open tubulars. Vittoria also offers casings in Nylon 120 TPI, Nylon 60 TPI, and Nylon 26 TPI, each equipping a family of tyres at its respective point on the price-performance scale, and all conferring the Vittoria characteristics of comfort, speed, and good handling. For Your Consideration: Do you require any inner tubes with your tyre choice? We recommend Vittoria Competition Latex Inner Tubes For deeper deep section rims you may also consider these Valve Extensions
The family of cotton tyres benefits from casing with 320 TPI (threads-per-inch) that’s one of a kind in terms of flexibility and lightness, from a tread that’s the result of millions of km in races around the world and from new, even better performance lightweight puncture protection, offering 40% better than ever before. The full range of cotton tyres features the new ISOgrip compound for yet more grip and safety. Vittoria has a long tradition of success: its tubulars and treads have won the greatest number of races in history.
