Fulcrum Red Metal Zero Disc Wheel Set, mod.2010
The top of the off-road Fulcrum range is dominated by the preferred wheel of champions
Red Metal Zero, used in competitions by Julien Absalon and his companions in the Orbea
Cross Country Team.
It has a welded rim with a 23.5 mm side, worked with a triple milling operation, a Fulcrum
patent, and with a specific profile for disk brakes. The assembly configuration uses aluminium
spokes with an aerodynamic profile and aluminium nipples arranged in a 2:1 Two-to-One
configuration; with the 16 spokes located on the disc side of the front
wheel and 16 spokes on the sprocket set side of the rear one for greater performance.
The oversizehubs have an alloy-body that rotates by means of adjustable bearings
on a 20 mm axle.
These wheels are compatible with Tubeless UST tyres.

The 2:1 Two-to-One
system has been used for all the rear wheels and for the first time Fulcrum has also
extended their advantages to all the front wheels fitted with disc brakes. The doubling
of the spokes on the critical side makes it possible to reduce the unit load borne by
each spoke as the spokes themselves are no longer subject to the mechanical stress
resulting from the different disc.
MoMag
MoMag technology is integrated in wheels which do not have drilling of the top bridge of
the rim. The nipples in these wheels are guided to their seat by employing a little magnet.
Their accessibility from the outside makes it possible to carry out all the spoke tensioning
and replacement operations conveniently. The absence of holes on the rim permits all the
original strength to be maintained as well as the use of tubeless tyres. The hermetically
sealed valve ensures that the tubeless tyre is kept under pressure.
