The wheel is in very good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. There are no cracks, flexing, flaking or discoloration in the carbon walls. There are no dents in the alloy rim.  The alloy rim is bonded firmly to the carbon wheel. The spokes are tight and straight. The wheel is round. There is less than 1 mm in lateral variation in the rim when placed in a truing stand. The batteries in the power tap hub are functioning. The hub (sensor ID 64148) is sending an ANT + signal and it registers with an ANT + control unit. The power tap body is not damaged. The hub flanges are not cracked. The hub spins freely and smoothly. There is no play in the hub. There are no notches in the free hub body splines from a cassette. There is no corrosion on the spokes or the nipples. The stickers are on securely. Frame and Wheel notes the following. The braking surfaces of the rim show wear.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Zipp 808 Clincher Power Tap G3 will make an excellent choice for the road cyclist or triathlete who seeks a power tap equipped deep dish rear wheel for time trials or road racing. The wheel is in very good condition and it is effectively new. The new owner will appreciate the convenience of the clincher rim, the  versatility of the deep dish rim and the ruthless accuracy with which the power tap measures the watts. The wheel will dramatically change the voice of any bike and deliver noticeable improvements in performance. A rare opportunity to obtain a unique Zipp wheel.
