This little one has had a pair of the Fulcrum 5 LG’s since April. Things have not gone so smoothly, literally.
See post #10
Regarding this post: Much digging was done before this purchase as I was keen to unveil the difference between the (defunct?) 5’s and the new 5 LG’s (C17). rpenmanparker (04-24-15, 03:37 PM
#8 ) covered this pretty comprehensively. Reporting official blurb, a measure of hard evidence and a pinch of rumour what emerged is that the 5 LG’s compared to the 5’s were redesigned to allow for easier fitting of &
#8 805;25mm tyres, which presumably certain individuals want for various reasons; too numerous to mention here. Interestingly I note that the professional peloton are (increasingly?) using 25mm tyres as appropriate and apparently rim design, generally, is reflecting this.
Something rpenmanparker didn’t explicitly mention, though it was implied, is that the contact patch for a given tyre will increase. Apparently good for comfort and decreased tyre wear!
Yes, these wheels are also marketed as Campagnolo and yes, this post also applies to the Fulcrum 7 LG’s.
Indirectly related hilarious recollection: mounting 35C’s, with studs, onto track bike with track wheels. True story.
Please,
can anyone help me remove the axel of the 5 LG’s? (internal link)
