Help please on purchase of fulcrum racing 5 wheelset

[neil earley]

Hi seen the above wheelset {wiggles } good price but they state for 10.11 speed shimano cassette. I have a 9 speed cassette , will these wheels fit or will I have to change cassette and shifter for 10 speed! sorry if I sound a bit thick.

I think you would need to upgrade shifters and mechs, as the wheels are 11 speed unless you fit a spacer to make them 10 so that would mean fitting 2 spacers to make them 9 spd which would probably cause real alignment issues.
I may be wrong though.

Will work fine with a spacer behind the cassette!

If it helps, I had the Fulcrum Racing 7 CX's on an 8 speed cassette.

And this site states that they will fit 8/9/10 & 11 speed cassettes.
Edit: sorry wrong link - that is to the CX version this link is to the normal version

I've got Fulcrum Quattros on a 9 speed cassette - make sure you fit the supplied spacer before fitting the cassette and all will be well.

The instructions are crap but the spacer is for 9 & 10 speed

Anything shimano 10 speed will be 9 speed compatible too as fjar as i know

Yup. My Campag Zonda's were the same. Spacer included for 9 or 10 speed. My 10 speed 105 cassette also came with a spacer. You need to include the additional spacer too, which threw me for a bit.

I think my 5s are 11 speed and I'm running an 8 speed cassette.

When I got my Fulcrum 5s a couple of years ago they had an 11 speed freehub, they came with a spacer which I fitted first on the freehub and this enabled me to fit the 9 speed cassette without issues.
