2010 Zipp 404 tubular carbon wheelset 700c 24 spoke F/R Zipp 188/88 hubs Ti skewer cross

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 2010 Zipp 404 wheel set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheels were purchased new from Exeter Cycles in 2009. They were used in about 8 cyclocross races in 2010 and one cyclocross race in 2011. They have never been crashed and they have had only one owner. The wheels feature Zipp 188 rear and 88 front hubs, 24 spoke count on front and back for cyclocross or heavier riders, Zipp titanium skewers, white lettering on silver banner stickers and Shimano free hub body. The wheels as shown weigh 3 pounds 3 ounces (1.4 kg). There are 60 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. Please see the Frame and Wheel website for more information about the company and the service.

Review of condition

The wheels are in very good condition. They are clean and they are ready to ride. The wheels are true and round. The hubs spin smoothly and freely. The spokes are tight and straight. The skewers are straight and working properly. There is no discoloration, flexing, flaking or cracking in the rim or the rim shell. There are no notches in the free hub body. The hub flanges are not cracked. There is no corrosion on the nipples or on the hubs. The stickers are not peeling off. Frame and Wheel notes the following. The braking surfaces of the rims show wear. There is dry glue on the rims. There is grit inside the rear rim that can be heard when the rim is shaken. There is wear on the end of the rear skewer. There are scratches on the Zipp sticker on the non drive side of the rear wheel.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that these Zipp 404s will suit the heavier rider who seeks a versatile aerodynamic tubular carbon wheel set for the road or the dedicated cyclocross rider who seeks something light and strong for the hole shot. Frame and Wheel notes that the new 188/88 hubs allow for the easy adjustment of the infamous “play” in Zipp hubs. The new owner will relish the light weight and smooth ride of these wheels and the compelling valuation at which they were obtained. They may even inspire a the hardened roadie to try his or her hand at cyclocross.
