I have a set of Fulcrum Racing 3 2 Way Fits. LOVE them. Easiest tubeless install I have experienced, still true several years later, no maintenance needed yet.

How many miles?

Revising my earlier statement. I just requested warranty replacement for my rear wheel, since after ~4500 miles, half of that on the trainer, almost all the drive side spokes are pulling out of the rim, creating large cracks. I'm at 190-195 right now, and I do tend to be über hard on gear. As with most campy warranties, your lbs (in my case I am the lbs) can send the defective product to QBP along with proof of purchase after setting up a claim. It's been my experience that warranty work takes about 10 days, and is free of charge (apart from one-way shipping) unless something not covered by the warranty needs replaced (one time they warned me that my tattered shifter hoods may not go back on without tearing, and if that happened they'd need to put a new set on at my cost. They went on fine, but I appriciated the warning).

Great to hear that. I hope they it's ok for me to take a wheelset to the nearest dealer eventhough I'll be buying it online.


Another question:

Brake pads - I'm guessing it's ok to use regular Alu pads for them? I know they recommend their own but can I get away with just regular Shimano pads?

I run Ultegra 6800 brakes right now and SRAM Rival on my other bike. Just wondering if I need new brake pad holders and new brake pads.

Thanks

Pads truly couldn't matter less. The standard has more to do with the cartridge type I use shimano cartridges because they're more available, even though my bike is campagnolo otherwise. It does matter if you have a carbon rim, you'd need a special pad. What you have should work fine, but if you want to change them, I always suggest wet weather pads like kool stop salmon.

I bought my wheels online too, they were on a serious sale at the time and I couldnt justify buying through the shop. Make sure you have a receipt or some proof of purchase from it. If you do need warranty help, make sure you are at least a customer of the shop you go to, since the warranty process does require some legwork on the part of the LBS, so in the busy season, when they're already slammed, they may not be inclined to do the dirty work of someone who's never spent a dime there.

I roll on some older Zonda's. they are still pretty awesome. Im sure the Fulcrums are a quality product, just like everything else campy makes.
