Fulcrum’s Speed wheelset portfolio echoes the tenets of parent company Campagnolo, focussing on premium aesthetics and performance. The Speed range spans the 25, 42 and 57mm models and has been manufactured to balance weight with stiffness and durability. While the step up from 25 to 42 is significant, particularly in terms of aerodynamics, the Fulcrum Speed 57 wheels represent more of a nuanced jump from the 42.

Everyone needs a cycling cap. The traditional cotton cycling cap is still a good option on warmer rides, shielding your eyes and head and absorbing sweat but there are also more technical options available made from wicking fabrics that should be less prone to getting damp and staying damp if it rains.
