Nope and nope on the bladed aluminum spokes. The yield strength of stainless steel (what most spokes are made of) is higher than that of aluminum (depending on the aluminum alloy, stainless' yield strength can be 120-500ish percent greater). For that reason, the aluminum spokes have to have a huge cross section compared to stainless steel spokes. Stainless is also about 200% or so stiffer than aluminum (again, it varies with the stainless steel type and the aluminum alloy in use). With that said, why are the spokes bladed? For these reasons:matbond said:Hey guys, I'm in the same boat as you guys. I have been riding Fulcrum Racing Zero's (2-way fit) for the past 2 years without any problems. Ironically enough, they have a low spoke count but the spokes are bladed aluminum so I'm only guessing this gives them a little more stiffness and strength. Furthermore, I run them in the tubeless setup, which I absolutely love. As a clyde, I was used to running tubed setups with PSI of 130+. The ride was rough and was routinely getting punctures and flats. Ever since switching to those wheels and the Hutchinson Intensive 25cc, I've never looked back. I would check them out.Â
True, should have clarified. I have over 8,000 miles on my racing 0's and they are still going strong.Originally Posted by maydog .
The weight limit on the 0's is 240 pounds and they have a very clear CYA warining for anyone over 180 pounds using the wheelset.
Miles, not years destroy wheelsets. Matbond, how many miles are on yours?
No ****. You support the view? Well, since you work for them I guess you should support their view.mybike88 said:You can buy parts assembled here, you can refer to the giant new www.giantnew.com www.wheelsnew.com bicycle wheels,I support this view: The weight limit on the 0's is 240 pounds and they have a very clear CYA warining for anyone over 180 pounds using the wheelset.
