I know folks have used the Fulcrum Racing 1s without much grief, and I was looking at the Fulcrum Racing 5 Evo wheels for possibly using with the group buy ZX3 frame if I jump in on the deal. I weigh in at right about 210, and wanted know whether anyone had used either the Racing 5 or Racing 5 Evo and could say whether it was a good pick or not for my uses.

How stiff is this wheelset? How durable is it over time?

Any advice/info is much appreciated.

Hope it's not a headache that I posted in the Road forum as well... sorry mods.

Given it's CLyde Specific, I'll say cool, I may move the road thread here to merge it at some point though.;)

That'll be after you get some responses though.

Hm. Yeah, no news so far of note... whatever makes the most sense, though. I was trying to bump the number of possible viewers... hope it isn't a headache.

At the current weight I figure there are some gray areas in play, unlike looking for a wheelset for an uber-clyde I wonder whether I might be able to get away with a bit more.

All I can say is my Racing 7's are holding up to my 220lbs. :D
