Which wheelset

[Levo-Lon]

Im looking at a set of ultegra and fulcrum 5 LG
Ultegra are at 250 from wiggle and the fulcrum are 190 at crc.

Both are very well rated and weigh in at the 1.65 kg mark.
My supra comp RR wheels are 2.1+ kg

Any others worth a look at this price point?

Had 2 sets of Fulcrum 5 which I like but I think Mavic Aksiums are better value especially at this price https://www.acycles.co.uk/mavic-aksium-wheelset-2016-14522.html?gclid=CM3jy8mh_NQCFYQYGwodXT0Elw

Np doubting the strength of 5s in my eyes..,,as I've often said on here, I dropped one wheel down a drain with a hell of a bang, no damage to the wheel, several years later the wheels are still true, no problems whatsoever. (Mine are Evo's)

The only slight negative was I found them stodgy when new

Just buy the Hunt shallow depth aero wheels about 280 pounds and better than Fulcrum 5's.

Nice but they seem to be 350-400

Racing 5 LG are not 1.65 kg despite any marketing. But they are good. Strong. They look nice too.

I still think the older non LG version of them was a better wheel.

Mine weigh 1.73 kg

Is that without skewers?

Yes.

Not that it really matters what the weight is on this budgetary range. They're all much of a muchness, and all weigh much less than the person riding them

Agreed..
I do find it odd that a lot of high end wheels weigh more ?
How the hell do they get a bike down to 6 kg then have to add weight for conformity

Find the set on their site £279.99 ?

No because they're in my basket.

Can't really beat Campag Zondas,bit more than the Ultegras but a proper wheel upgrade;

Or the Hunts.

Actually I might know of someone who has a pair of year-old Hunt Aero-wides for sale
