Fulcrum Racing Zero width?
 
I'm about to get a set of these wheels, but I can't find any details on their width. my current wheels are 20mm, but I've been hearing that the trend is towards 24-25mm for the rim.

anyone know their width?

Rim depth or width? I have older gen non-two way fit zero clinchers which are about 25 mm rim depth, 19 mm width just from eyeballing the front with a ruler and tire mounted, so not totally precise. :)

Width.

Looks like 20mm to me. Campy's not into the wide rim thing.

ok, thanks. I saw that but didn't know what "nominal or ERTO width" meant.

Mine are wider than my velocity fusion rims by a few mm. I dont know what the fusions are but im sure you could google the specs easily.

I have mixed feelings about my zeros. On one hand they are very stiff, very solid feeling and have remained perfectly true. they are light, have a great braking surface and low drag from the low spoke count and bladed spokes.

however, I have never owned such a fussy freewheel in any other wheel before, it is noisy and has engagement issues dispite having been back to the shop for service a number of times. Im thinking it is time to sell them and try something else

Surprised to hear that, I had read good things about their hubs.

I had too, maybe I got unlucky but mine have been a bit of a dissapointment on the freewheel side of things. Other than that they are great, I wish I could be happy with them becasue they ride very nicely otherwise

Wot, you got a rear one equipped with a freewheel instead of a freehub, doh! ;)

But seriously, sounds like maybe you got unlucky and got a lemon, though I'm surprised you or your LBS couldn't straighten things out. Why didn't they get replaced under warranty service?

I think they are pricey, likely from the Campy tax, but they are pretty darn nice.
