Strengths:    -Quite fast
-Durability is ok
-Rolling resistance is low
-Good on climbs

Weaknesses:    -Hit a big pothole, pretty much done for.
-Tire mounting's hard as hell.
-A tad bit heavy for all those weight
weenies.

Bottom Line:

Most of all, the wheels look to me very slick. It looks fast. The red anodized rims give it a sporty feel. On the performance side however, things are a bit different. These things are relatively heavy. Plus, it's noisy. That may be a good thing, as it can alert other riders of your presence. The wheels roll well, I push it hard every ride. So far, it has only failed me twice. These things easily handle small to medium potholes, but you'd better steer clear of big ones. First time I did, the wheel went completely out of true. But what I hate most of all is the difficulty in installing tires. Sheesh, it took an experienced LBS owner 10 minutes getting a Panaracer on. Anyway, it's a good entry-level wheel, something to use before trying newer, better things.

Strengths:    Stiff, true and durable.

Weaknesses:    On the heavy side but good for larger riders.

Bottom Line:

I keep hearing that these wheels are bomb proof and I am here to testify that it is true. Oh, that ARE loud! This can be a good thing though when passing or just trying to tell the guy in front of you to speed it up. After a year of riding and about 3000 miles they remain perfectly true and still spin flawlessly.I just bought a set of racing 1 and i dont see myself buying wheels from anybody but fulcrum for some time to come.

Strengths:    durable.. bombproof wheels.

Weaknesses:    weight

Bottom Line:

strong durable fast rolling wheels. I hit a pothole during a rainy ride and the rims held very well. I was worried at first bec the impact was hard and I felt it up to my shoulders. I checked the wheels and they are still round and straight as a ruler.

These are fast rolling wheels as well

Nice buy at the bike show for 150 clams..

Strengths:    The rims seem rather stout.

Weaknesses:    Poor quality bearings
Poor quality control on the build

Bottom Line:

These wheels came with a 2011 Cervelo R3. Cervelo's idea was to equip the bike with a set of training wheels in order to keep the price down, which is an idea I completely agree with. However, I don't think these wheels, or at least the rear, would be reliable enough for training. I understand from the shop that the rear was originally ridiculously out of dish when it came out of the box, which suggests poor quality control on Fulcrum's part. And after just three rides the rear wheel bearings feel more like gravel than bearings. Since I have so few miles on them I can't speak for how well they'll stay true. So far I haven't had any problems with the front wheel.

Strengths:    9000 miles and no issues or adjustments.

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:

I ride the mountain roads around Ashevilkle NC. I am 6 ft and 190 lbs. I ride about 150 miles a week. OK now the wheels. My (Red) Fulcrum Racing 7 wheels cames standard on my 2007 Kestrel Talon. This is the 3rd season and I have almost 9000 miles on the wheels. Never a loose spoke. Both wheels remained true with never a adjustment. I have never had any issues with these wheels. They are also the same wheelset that comes standard on a Cervelo S1. 5 starts all the way.
