You won't beat the C24 for climbing since the rims weigh just 380 grams so less rotational weight. The C35 have heavier rims but are more aero due to the deeper rim.ririz wrote:Currently I have DA7900 C24 on my other bike. I like the new C24 but a few friends told me fulcrum zero are great.

The C35 clinchers are not areola enough to outweigh the weight cost better off getting the C50sbiker jk wrote:You won't beat the C24 for climbing since the rims weigh just 380 grams so less rotational weight.

The OP was asking about a climbing/all round wheelsets and included the C24 and C35 as choices. No mention of the C50, which in any case is quite heavy to be a climbing wheelset.jcjordan wrote:The C35 clinchers are not areola enough to outweigh the weight cost better off getting the C50sbiker jk wrote:You won't beat the C24 for climbing since the rims weigh just 380 grams so less rotational weight.

I also had a crash at ~45 kph when I went into a road grill and they survived with only a slight out of alignment.

I really like the 9000 QRs they look cool. Fulcrum look more bling and they're black (matches my bike)
Now i just need an approval from the boss lol

Anyone with real world experience, flexy? I'm tempted but at 85kgs on a 16/20 spoke count doesn't inspire confidence. I started way back on some R550's and they went like nooddles after a while.
