Review of condition

The wheels are in very good condition. They are clean and they are ready to ride. The hubs spin smoothly and freely. The spokes are tight and straight. The rims are round and the wheels are true. There is no lateral or vertical variation in the rims when placed in a truing stand. There are no cracks, flexing or flaking in the carbon rim or the carbon shell. There are no notches in the free hub body splines from a cassette. There are no cracks in the hub bodies. There are no cracks in the flanges of the hubs. There is no corrosion on the spokes, the nipples or on the skewers. The stickers are not peeling off. The skewers are straight and complete. Frame and Wheel notes the following. One of the springs on the rear skewer is missing. There is light wear on the braking surfaces of rims. There is a light layer of glue on the rims.

11-speed conversion

The Zipp 188 rear hub can be converted to 11-speed. The conversion requires a new axle, end cap, free hub body and spacer and a re-dish of the wheel. The upgrade is available through authorized Zipp dealers. Please see this link to Zipp website for more information about the conversion.
