Hey,

They look to have the same hubs as the fulcrum quattro,I had a set or quattro's and found them a great rolling wheel,I'd say only difference is the rim depth,That's as much help as I can give you,

Cheers zip,

Those Fulcrums should be fine. I had a set down from them (Racing 7) since mid 2008. I only recently retired them due to rim wear having used them daily for commuting and over each winter since 2008.

I have a set of fulcrum 3 wheels which I used for training/club races/races around the country and I never had to get them trued once. I found them bullet proof and very reliable. I'd say I have over 5000miles on them so far and have them hanging up now and use them occasionally. They roll freely and look great too IMO which is biased!!! Think the weight of the 3's is something like 1555grms which for a middle of the road wheel is great. Google 'bike radar' and they generally have most stuff tested/reviewed so that might help you too. Happy spending!

i'm not sure if moving from the cxp22 would be a worth while upgrade, the fulcrums would be a better but but not hugely.
if i was you i would save up for the quattros or if possible the 3's.

i have the zeros and cant fault them.
