Fulcrum clincher 3 v Quattro clincher.

Looking to buy some new wheels instead of a new bike (Budget of around £300 - £400). Anyone had either of these wheels? If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks

Also looking for a good set of lights? Any suggestions?

I have the Quattros and really like the look, the only problem is with cross winds that can really knock the deep rim but other than that for the price they are spot on, lovely quality.

Fulcrum racing 3, lighter and you will definately feel the difference. Or go for a set of campag zondas, exactly the same as the 3's but a nicer spoke pattern, and £100 cheaper.

I'm on my 2nd set of 3's (the old ones are now kept for the winter) and they've been excellent with almost Zero issues.
The only issue I've had was One nipple in the rear wheel that became loose and disappeared in the rim, twice. LBS fixed it easily and since the last time (about 1.5 yrs ago) it has not happened again

The rims, spokes and especially the bearings are trouble free and don't need any special care, not even re-grease and that's from someone who's >90kg and who does 6000-7000km year round on UK country roads

The 4's use the same rims I believe but with lower spec spokes and hubs which does not mean lower quality, probably just more weight...
