right ive got a set of fulcrum racing 5 wheels and i love them and they have been great im looking for a new set of wheels as these are on there last legs i was going to get the new racing 5s but im put off a little by the low spoke count 18 for the front and 20 on the rear, so i was looking on merlin and found some racing t wheels what will these compare to my racing 5s i think there from the same year, i will be using the wheels just for normal cycleing in the north west area so hilly and poor roads or am i being silly worring about the spoke count and should just get the 2014 racing 5s

    What about the racing t are they cartridge. I don't get on too well with cup and cone. They should be the same hubs as my racing 5s then.
