Fulcrum Wind 75 Carbon Road Disc WheelsetThis race-ready wheelset features a high, ultra-aero profile that's ideal for time trials, triathlons and all situations where aerodynamics make the difference when pedalling at high speeds on your road bike. Fulcrum has equipped it with a high-quality full carbon rim construction with unidirectional carbon fibre finishing, so riders can enjoy the best balance of stiffness, strength and low weight performance on their ride. Aerodynamically researched and wind tunnel tested by the brand's engineers for maximum results, its rim width is 27mm and the channel width is 19mm which puts its internal and external dimension in line with modern racing trends.Full Carbon Wheelset with 2-Way Fit TechnologyFulcrum has kitted out this wheelset with a 2-Way Fit profile, which allows riders to fit both a tubeless tyre or a classic clincher. The advantages are indisputable, as the brand's tests have highlighted a unique increase in smoothness and it doesn't need any tape for sealing, simplifying and lightening the tyre-rim pairing. Because there is no tube, the friction caused by rubbing against the tyre is eliminated, while the perfect adherence of the tyre to the rim prevents the dispersion of energy. This also means that you'll have more flexibility to choose and test out which tyre works best for you. Tubeless advantages include the ability to run lower pressures for increased grip, comfort and fewer chances of flats or punctures.AFS Disc Brake Compatible and Aero Mo-Mag TechnologyReady for modern racing, this versatile wheelset is equipped with renowned Fulcrum technologies for getting the best performance out of every situation. Its AFS disc brake compatibility ensures that braking is powerful, precise and consistent, so you can tackle whatever the terrain or course conditions throw at you. Another highlight is its Mo-Mag technology that uses no holes on the rim to ensure that the rim is uniform at every point, free from stress points or zones of weakness and, for the clincher profiles no rim tape is required, for greater weight reduction.Double-Butted Spokes with Sealed Cartridge BearingsThis model's spokes are double-butted, rounded and straight-pull for excellent aerodynamic performance and the nipples are aluminium. As far as the internals are concerned, Fulcrum chose sealed cartridge bearings housed in aluminium hubs, for both the front and rear wheel. Coming complete with sleek graphics that will complement any ride, the Fulcrum Wind 75 Disc Brake Carbon Wheelset the perfect choice upgrade for increased speed, comfort and handling on race day.Features: Rim Material: Full Carbon Finish: Unidirectional (UD) Carbon Fibre Use: Road, Triathlon and Time Trial Axle Compatibility: Front: 12x100mm; Rear: 12x142mm Rim Height: Front and Rear: 75mm Rim Width: 27mm Inner Rim Width (Channel): 19mm Braking System: Disc Brake Braking Surface: AFS Tyre Type: 2-Way fit (for Clincher and Tubeless) Tyre Width: From 23mm to 50mm Profile Height: High Spokes Material: Stainless Steel, double-butted Spokes Profile: Rounded, straight-pull Front Wheel Spokes: 24 (Left: 16 left; Right: 8) Rear Wheel Spokes: 24 (Left: 8; Right: 16) Nipples: Aluminium Front Hub: Aluminium, Aluminium flanges Rear Hub: Aluminium, Aluminium flanges Bearings: Sealed cartridge bearings Axle Material: Aluminium Axle ASTM Category: 1 Weight Limit: 120kg (bike, rider, equipment and luggage) Freehub Type: Multiple options available to select separately Single or Pair: Pair Weight: 1820gTechnologies: 2-Way Fit: 2-Way Fit profile for tubeless and clincher. Fulcrum has developed 2-Way Fit technology to ensure perfect compatibility of its tubeless rims with normal clincher types and tubes. 2-Way Fit road bike wheels are perfectly multipurpose for tackling every situation. Thanks to a special impression in the valve area, the tubes are fitted with maximum precision, while keeping the tube perfectly stable inside the tyre. Housing the valve for tubeless tyres is also risk-free, with the unquestionable advantage that there are never any air infiltrations caused by non-ideal positioning when fitting. AFS Axle System: The Axial Fixing System is the solution developed by Fulcrum to fix the disc brake to the hub. The constraint granted by the butt area of the release mechanism, greater than in familiar standard ones, makes it possible to obtain greater structural rigidity and therefore more precise and powerful braking. Full Carbon Rim: Full carbon Fulcrum rims are built using combinations, developed in the laboratory, of different types of fibre, including unidirectional (UD). To build them Fulcrum developed a special HTG (high transition grade) resin, whose glass transition point is at a higher temperature than any other fibre used in the bicycle industry. This gives incomparable performance when braking. Fulcrum carbon products are also recognisable for their sophisticated workmanship: The rims are moulded with ready-made nipple holes, so no further hole-making is needed. Nor is polishing necessary to give them an impeccable appearance or make them technically ready for mounting. MoMag: A magnet and lots of ingenuity. This was what led to the patent for the well-tested “Mounting Magnet” system, or MoMag. No holes on the rim mean that the rim is uniform at every point, free from stress points or zones of weakness and, for the clincher profiles no rim tape is required, to the benefit of weight reduction. The advantages are immediately clear: greater rim lifetime, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility to give the spokes greater tension, and greater stiffness which, in terms of performance, mean greater reactivity and acceleration.Manufacturer's Part Numbers: FULC0146827 Black 700c Shimano FULC0146829 Black 700c SRAM XDBuy Fulcrum Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Fox Suspension 38 Float Factory Grip 2 ForkSpecifically designed for enduro riders who want to go big, this Factory Series suspension fork comes feature-packed to exceed the demands of Factory-level riders. Ready for fast enduro rides with a design that's built for speed, this model's genuine Kashima coating on its upper tubes makes it slippery smooth and ultra-durable as you conquer the most demanding of trail conditions. Thanks to its Boost axle spacing, it provides stronger and stiffer performance, while its Float EVOL air spring and GRIP2 damper with dual Variable Valve Control (VVC) make it easy to tweak it to match your riding style. Packing the same revolutionary features as the 36 model while redefining what you think a long travel single crown fork is capable of, this enduro fork sets a new benchmark for confidence, performance, and durability. Welcome to the big time.Enduro Fork with GRIP2 DamperFox Suspension's GRIP2 damper is the benchmark for unparalleled ride quality and ultra-precise adjustability. GRIP2 includes the brand's patented Variable Valve Control (VVC) technology which allows for external fine-tuning of suspension performance. GRIP2 achieves with the twist of a knob what typically requires the time-consuming and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork.Float EVOL Air SpringEVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimizing small bump sensitivity. EVOL's linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tuneable bottom-out progression. The benefits of EVOL are further enhanced by Fox Suspension's Lower Leg channels and Bleeders, which both function to reduce air pressure captured in the lower legs, allowing the EVOL air spring to operate freely without unintended interference.Features: Upper Tubes Finish: Genuine Kashima Coat Use: Enduro, Mountain Bike (MTB) Axle Size: 15QRx110mm Boost Air Spring: Float EVOL Damper: GRIP2 damper with dual Variable Valve Control (VVC) Steerer Diameter: 1.5" tapered (internally elliptical) Compatible Rotor Size: 180mm direct Post Mount, up to 230mm compatible Weight: 2180gTechnologies: Factory Series: “Factory” says it all - feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of Factory-level riders. What we sell is what they race. Factory Series products feature slippery smooth, ultra-durable Genuine Kashima Coat. Adjustments: High-speed compression (with VVC) 8 clicks. Low-speed compression 16 clicks. High-speed rebound (with VVC) 8 clicks. Low-speed rebound 16 clicks. Floating Axle: Floating axles might look similar to other axles, but in fact they offer a distinct performance advantage due to their unique ability to match the exact width of the fork's wheel mounting surface precisely to the front hub flange spacing, thus creating perfect chassis alignment and eliminating unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs. Floating axles provide much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of the fork's travel, notably improving sensitivity and overall ride quality. The all-new 36 and 38 come equipped with a new quick-release lever operated patent-pending floating axle system, combining the benefit of a floating axle with the ease of a tool-free quick-release. With this system, spacing is locked in via a floating sleeve, allowing repeated front wheel removal and reinstallation while maintaining perfect fork alignment. Floating sleeve positioning comes preset from the factory so if you are unsure of how to operate the floating axle system or simply don't want to bother with it, you can just install the front wheel and get on with your ride. Lower Leg Bypass Channels: As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Fox Suspension's lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel. Bleeders: Fox Suspension's lower leg bleeders allow for atmospheric pressure equalization at the simple press of a button. Pressure build-up in the lower legs dramatically decreases fork performance, preventing full travel from being achieved, and diminishing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness. Lower Leg Arch: Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours poring over every ounce of material in an effort to optimize this critical ratio. Fox Suspension's all-new lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity style riding. Modern frame designs and geometry trends require modern suspension design solutions. The arch design of the all-new 36, 38, and 40 is designed to pair perfectly with modern Enduro and Downhill bikes. Head tube profiles have grown larger and larger, and fork offsets shorter and shorter. Fox Suspension's new arch shape takes this need into account by jutting forward to provide ample headtube clearance at full compression. State-of-the-art computer modeling techniques helped us to create an organic lower leg shape that optimizes stiffness with the absolute minimal amount of material. Elliptical Steerer: The 38's elliptical steer tube is one of many ways Fox Suspension has further optimized stiffness-to-weight, placing more material only where it is needed, and eliminating every ounce of it where it's not.Manufacturer's Part Numbers: 910-21-031 Black 27.5" QR110 170mm 44mm 910-21-028 Black 27.5" QR110 180mm 44mm 910-21-027 Black 27.5" QR110 180mm 37mm 910-20-201 Orange 27.5" QR110 170mm 44mm 910-21-025 Black 29" QR110 160mm 51mm 910-21-020 Black 29" QR110 180mm 44mm 910-21-024 Black 29" QR110 160mm 44mm 910-21-022 Black 29" QR110 170mm 44mm 910-20-200 Orange 29" QR110 170mm 44mmBuy Fox Suspension Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
