Circa 2004 Zipp disc wheel 700c tubular carbon

Frame and Wheel is bringing to market a circa 2004 Zipp carbon tubular disc wheel 700c on the Frame and Wheel eBay store. This wheel features the dimpled surface and the red and white stickers. Frame and Wheel obtained this wheel second hand in 2006 and has used it for time trials and on a trainer indoors. The wheel has about 400 hours of all weather racing and indoor training on it. It was used on a Cervelo P3 and it worked fine with that bike. Frame and Wheel is selling this wheel because it soon or immediately needs new bearings and a new free hub body in order for it to operate at its optimal level. Frame and Wheel is no longer willing to invest in this wheel. There are 30 images of the wheel at Frame and Wheel eBay Selling Services and on Facebook at Frame and Wheel. Please take a look. The wheel is being sold as is.

Review of condition

The wheel is in good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. It is true and round and there are no cracks or flaking in the rim. There are no holes or dents in the surface of the wheel. Frame and Wheel notes the following. Six of the nine splines on the free hub body have three notches 2 mm in depth from the cassette. These notches (unless filed down) prevent the removal of the cassette spacer. The hubs spin well enough, but the pawls are loud and there is a scratchiness and a reluctance to the feel of the spin of the hubs. There is a 60 mm x 30 mm imprint from the adhesive used to fix the magnet for a road computer to the non drive side of the wheel about 100 mm from the edge of the rim. There is some glue on the rim from the tubular tires. The opening for the valve stem on the non drive side of the wheel was enlarged by Frame and Wheel in 2011. Frame and Wheel carefully inspected this wheel, but cannot guarantee that every imperfection has been spotted.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

This is a great disc wheel that will suit the entry level time trial cyclist or triathlete who seeks the benefit of an aerodynamic rear wheel, but is not prepared to pay the premium for a new one. Although the bearings and the free hub body will need some work to ensure optimal performance, the rims and the wheel are in good and operable condition. Frame and Wheel believes that this is a rare and excellent opportunity to obtain a perfectly good disc wheel at a fraction of the retail price. The new owner will notice and relish the difference that a disc wheel makes, and will be able to use the savings to obtain a deep dish front wheel or some other essential accessory.
