Fulcrum Sharq Wheelset

Yes, the Sharq 700c is compatible with both tubeless and clincher setups. However, because the rim bed is undrilled and tubeless-native, you will get the best performance and easiest setup by running them tubeless.

The undrilled rim bridge eliminates the need for rim tape, which saves weight and removes a common point of failure for tubeless setups. It creates a stronger, more uniform rim structure that is inherently airtight.

They are designed to bridge the gap between both. With a 25mm internal width and aerodynamic carbon profile, they are fast enough for road racing but robust enough to handle the varied terrain of gravel riding.

The 25mm internal width is optimized for tires ranging from 30mm to 65mm. This wider profile provides better sidewall support, allowing you to run lower pressures for increased comfort and grip without the tire feeling squirmy in corners.

The Sharq 700c is compatible with the Campagnolo N3W hub standard. Ensure your current cassette is compatible with this system before purchasing.

The 2:1 spoke ratio balances the tension between the drive side and the non-drive side of the wheel. This results in a stiffer, more responsive ride that resists twisting under heavy pedaling loads, improving power transfer.
