2008 Zipp 900 Disc tubular 700c Zipp 82 hub Ti skewer extra free hub body track axle

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 2008 Zipp 900 Disc tubular wheel on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheel was purchased new at Exeter Cycles in New Hampshire in 2009. The wheel was used only for racing time trials at a local time trial series in 2009 and 2010. It was used twice in 2011 and has been in storage since then. The wheel features ABLC dimpled surface, 20 mm rim width, an enlarged valve hole for easier tire inflation, a Zipp titanium skewer, an axle to adapt the wheel for track, an installed Shimano free hub body, a Campagnolo free hub body for use on a Campagnolo drive train and white silvery sticker finish. The wheel as shown weighs 2 pounds and 2 ounces (1.0 kg). The serial number on the rim reads 252754. No Zipp decals for valve hole included. There are 40 detailed images of the wheel in a slide show at Frame and Wheel Auction Services. Please scroll down to the bottom of the description to find the slide show. 

Review of condition

The wheel is in very good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. There are no cracks, flexing or flaking in the rim. There are no dents, punctures or scratches in the surface of the wheel. The wheel is true and round. The hub spins freely and smoothly and the pawls are not loud. There is no play in the hub. The stickers are on securely. Frame and Wheel notes the following. The splines on the Shimano and Campagnolo hub show notch marks from a cassette. There is a 1 x 17 mm blemish on one of the Zipp stickers on the non-drive side of the wheel. The braking surface of the rim shows light wear. There is a light layer of old glue on the rim. 

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this wheel is the perfect solution for the cyclist who seeks to seriously improve his or her time trial performances in the future. The wheel is light, it is aerodynamic and it makes a noticeable difference when set up on a time trial bicycle. The wheel is in very good condition and with proper preparation it is ready to be glued up with a time trial tire and turned loose on the road. Frame and Wheel notes that the inclusion of a Zipp titanium skewer, an axle for optional track use and a Campagnolo free hub body is unusual and increases the value of this offering. The new owner of this wheel will relish the distinctive sound that a disc wheel makes when at speed and the new voice it provides to any time trial bicycle. A rare and excellent opportunity to obtain an effectively new wheel that will inspire higher levels of commitment and dedication to mastering the race against the clock.
