However, ceramic bearings generally wear out quicker, and I’d personally prefer to have to put out a couple of extra watts with some steel bearings and not have to deal with worn out bearings if I choose to use these wheels year-round.

However, the Fulcrum Racing Quattro Carbon wheels provide a good middle ground if you want the best of both worlds.What that means is that the rims have been designed to work perfectly with wider tyres.According to the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO), the minimum width of tyre that you should use with a 17mm rim is 25mm, while the maximum is a whopping 52mm.However, I certainly wouldn’t go as far as describing these wheels as sluggish, and considering all of the other positives that the Fulcrum Racing Quattro Carbon wheels, this is not as much of a problem as it would be on other wheels.At 1575g for the pair, there are lighter carbon clinchers out there, but everything else about the Fulcrum Racing Quattro Carbon wheels is outstanding.
