Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Fulcrum Racing Quattro Carbon OR Reynolds Assault SLG

I'm currently using Fulcrum Racing 3's. Looking to upgrade to a carbon wheelset and wondering what people's opinions are. I've seen tons of praise for the Assaults and am leaning towards those a little more but wanted to see what other people's opinions/experiences are with those and the Fulcrums. Both these wheelsets are the latest model years. The Fulcrum's being $200 cheaper from the shop and 75 grams heavier (claimed weights). Looks don't really matter as much, looking at more of a price/performance comparison (couldn't find much on the Fulcrum's online). Thanks guys!

Honestly i would look into BOYD , they make a great wheelset i have the altamonts 30 mm deep 24mm wide great hubs they also have the boyd carbon fiber wheelsets 44mm deep and more and they are awesome still true super light for alu clincher 1500 grams for the set my next wheels will be the BOYD 44mm carbon fiber ones ,, i was going to to get fulcrums to the racing zeros but they are only like 19 or 20 mm wide .. i feel the wheelsets with 24mm with have way better handling comfort and more aero i guess .

I bought a set of the 2015 Assault slg's to run tubeless and had nothing but problems with them. Reynolds sent me another set and they were worse than the first set plus their customer service department basically said "oh well, that's just how the're made". I returned them and bought some Easton ec90sl's which are lighter and wider than the Assaults with a certified road tubeless rim design. They have proven to be an awesome set of wheels so far, I know they're not on your list but thought they were worth a look for you EC90 SL CLINCHER | Easton Cycling
