Seeing as Fulcrum Racing Lights go for $3000 MSRP, I'm guessing that's a negative.

Some new forks have the sensor integrated on the inside of the fork.....ie Trek.

I'll bet thats just a lower end fulcrum wheel that basso uses for training inside. I do the same thing. Except mine are just open pros, and my race wheels are just ksyriums.

As it says "Racing Light" on the side and is a carbon-ish color, I'm fairly certain that it is, in fact, a Fulcrum Racing Light.

Really.

ah. 10-4. I was assuming he was talking about the picture link of him riding the trainer on his hotel balcony, which is of a decidedly aluminum color.

It caused some raised eyebrows when Mario Cipollini and the Saeco team switched from steel Moser bikes to aluminum Cannondales. Francesco Moser is, after all, a sporting hero in Italy. However that switch was back in the early 90's, if I remember correctly.

Mechanics put the magnet in the same spot on every wheel. That way you get a wheel change, you still get your speedo.
