CeramicSpeed aluminium alloy pulley wheels are specially designed to reduce friction to an absolute minimum, virtually eliminating the drag associated with standard pulley wheels. The special design helps guide the chain in its ideal line and perform super smooth shifting.
The cage is made from carbon fibre and reinforced PA while the 17-tooth pulley wheels are made from aluminium and mounted with high quality CeramicSpeed coated bearings. The revolutionary OSPW System is mounted with CeramicSpeed coated bearings, which means it has undergone a special coating treatment to provide even more protection and lower friction. A very thin protective coating is applied to the bearing races, which further increase the resistance to corrosion or damage from foreign objects. The OSPW has been tested and confirmed to be the world’s fastest pulley wheel system, therefore enhancing your performance with free speed, which gives you a more efficient drivetrain. Like all other products delivered by CeramicSpeed, this product has undergone a thorough testing program and is used by professional triathletes Tim Don and Tyler Butterfield. Maintenance It’s important that you properly lubricate your bearings in order to ensure optimal performance and maximum longevity. Add oil to the outside of the bearing seal, so that oil can penetrate the bearing. Do this when you lubricate your chain, or if you have washed your bike or have been riding in wet or muddy conditions.

This CeramicSpeed UFO chain features an improved formula for all riders that want to save between 2-5 watts on competition day. Due to the updated improved formula and in-house performance testing, the CeramicSpeed UFO Racing Chains are now be produced and offered in two options: an optimised KMC SL 11s and 10s chain which is compatible with SRAM, Campagnolo and Shimano, and an optimised Dura-Ace HG901 11s chain specific to Shimano drivetrains. The CeramicSpeed UFO Chains are developed for unmatched racing performance and are intended for race-day applications. The new racing chains will now last 600 km / 370 miles before significant efficiency losses, and potentially even longer under clean riding conditions. The latest frictional tests show that compared to the earlier version of the CeramicSpeed UFO Chain, the new formula shaves off up to 15% more of the chain friction. After this mileage, we recommend to use Squirt lube. Be aware that the UFO treatment is not optimised for wet and muddy conditions, which might cause corrosion on the chain.
Representing the best in the business, the SPEED 40C C17 Carbon Road Wheelset delivers high-end performance and incredible versatility. Describing their creation as the pinnacle of wheel design, Fulcrum have used a solid and incredibly responsive structure with rear oversized flanges and a two-to-one spoke pattern. Capable of tackling any conditions, acceleration and braking are consistently at the top of their game come rain or shine. Perfect Tyre to Rim Interface This wheelset is capable on any terrain you come across. Featuring a 17mm internal rim width, it is perfectly suited to both 25 and 28c tyres. It has been designed to create the perfect tyre to rim interface with these modern tyre sizes, placing it firmly in the modern competitive race wheel category. Stiff and Reactive The Longitudinal Twill carbon rim design has been implemented into the creation of these wheels. The fibres and the orientation in which they are structured pushes the boundaries of carbon fibre construction, resulting in a stiffer, more reactive rim that can also absorb higher levels of road vibration. Exceptional Braking Performance In addition to the technology that Fulcrum has developed to make their wheel go amazingly fast. They have also applied the AC3 braking surface to this model, which makes slowing down noticeably more responsive and powerful. This advanced coating on the braking surface provides exceptional braking performance and as a bonus, it also reduces rim wear. Added features: Axle - Front Axle Compatibility: QR Rear Axle Compatibility: QR Aluminium Bearings - USB ceramic bearings. Adjustable Cup & Cones bearing system Rim Material - Full carbon, "Twill" -carbon fibre finishing Tyres - Clincher Width: From 25mm to 50mm Size: 28" Weight - 1420g Technologies: AC3 - All Conditions Carbon Control: AC3 enables surprising braking performance, which is very noticeable in difficult weather conditions. Rather than using the traditional machined brake track approach, Fulcrum uses micro laser incisions on the brake track surface to remove resins and create a smooth surface. Lab tests have shown that this process improves braking power by an improvement of 6%. However, in the wet this performance increase jumps to 43%. Bringing braking in the wet closer to the performance experienced when riding in dry conditions. USB (Ceramic Ultra Smooth Bearings): Using high-end ceramic balls, which perform continually thanks to the absence of lubricating grease and the precise machining of the cup and cone technology, the friction is reduced drastically and in turn increases the smoothness of triathlon and road bike wheels by as much as 9 times compared to standard bearings. Rim Dynamic Balance: Simple and Elegant, the weight of the rim gasket is balanced on the opposite side with an item of similar weight. 2:1 Two-To-One: Every push on the pedals from the rider will force most of that energy on the drive side of the rear wheel. To combat this loss of rim tension and power transfer, Fulcrum has solved this cycling problem with their 2:1 spoke ratio pattern by doubling the spoke count in crucial zones on the wheel. Direction Rim-Spoke Coupling: An exclusive rim/spoke mounting system. It allows the rim, spokes, hub and nipples to align perfectly, guaranteeing the precise spoke tension in all areas around the wheel. Anti-Rotation System: This system locks the spoke in place once the correct tension is achieved. Engineers at Fulcrum have designed this system to ensure the spokes never lose their initial tension and to remain in the position that has been proven to provide the perfect aerodynamic properties. Unrolled Rim Bed: Featuring no holes on the central section of the rim means that the rim is uniform at every point, free from critical areas subject to stress. The advantages are immediately clear: less weight, longer lasting rims, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility of giving the spokes more tension and more stiffness which, in terms of performance, means improved responsiveness and acceleration. Plasma Freehub: The freehub body has been Plasma treated, which makes the aluminium especially hard and resistant to surface abrasion and wear. This means the thickness of materials used can be to be reduced to a minimum, achieving a lighter weight, while maintaining lifespan and reliability.
Ready to take your ride to the next level, the SPEED 55C C17 Carbon Road Wheelset is the work of intense research carried out by Fulcrum. Deploying their new AC3 technology to give both the look and use an upgrade, the full-carbon rim benefits from a different braking rim and has an elastic responsiveness certain to give you the upper hand on your rivals. Perfect for sprinters, power transfers are enhanced for nothing but pure speed, while the aerodynamic wheels maintain energy ready for deployment when it matters most. Just as capable on the triathlon scene, the 55C utilises a flywheel effect created by the rim rotation, optimising support to help acceleration whether on the flat or climbing short hills. Aerodynamics are certainly important, and with the SPEED 55C, all eyes are on the clock and your previous personal best.
