Zipp 900 Tubular disc wheel carbon Zipp 182 hub 202P free hub Shimano 10-speed TT 700c

Frame and Wheel is offering a Zipp 900 Tubular disc wheel on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheel was used for racing only. It was used in about 15 time trials. It has an estimated 200 miles of use. It has never been crashed. The owner is selling it because it is no longer needed. The wheel features tubular rim, ABLC (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) dimpled surface, 20 mm rim width, Zipp 182 disc hub with 202P free hub body (Shimano 10 speed), OEM skewer, track wheel adaptability, dual side valve opening and early Zipp disc cool. The wheel as shown weighs 2 pounds and 7 ounces (1.1 kg). The serial number on the rim reads 071206. There are 40 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. Includes wheel bag. Ships in custom wheel box. Cannot be converted to 11-speed. Please note that the owner purchased the wheel in 2007 from a shop that surreptitiously placed 2008 silver banner Zipp wheel stickers over the older red and white Zipp wheel stickers. This wheel is a 2004 model at the latest.

Review of condition

The wheel is in good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. There is no cracking, flexing, discoloration or flaking in the rim. The hub spins freely and smoothly. There is no play in the hub. The skewer is straight and undamaged. The valve opening is undamaged. The stickers are on securely. Frame and Wheel notes the following. The wheel shows lateral variation when placed in the truing stand of less than 1.5 mm (the width of a penny). There are five 0.5 mm x 1.0 mm scratches on the drive side surface of the wheel. There is light surface corrosion on the non drive side hub. There are scratches on the free hub body from a cassette. There is a light layer of glue on the rim. The braking surfaces of the rim show light wear. The 2008 silver banner Zipp stickers are not the original stickers and have been placed over older red and white banner stickers.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Zipp 900 Tubular will make and excellent choice for the road cyclist or triathlete who seeks a functional and practical disc wheel for racing or for training. Despite its older heritage and its clumsy cosmetic upgrade the wheel is lightly used and in good condition. The new owner will notice the benefits of a disc wheel and may find that the wheel and the time trial bike that it is on gets more use as a result. An excellent opportunity to change the voice of a time trial bike and improve performance in the race against the clock.

Review of condition

The wheels are in good condition. They are clean and they are ready to ride. The hubs spin smoothly and freely. The spokes are secured firmly into the rim and the hubs. There are no cracks, nicks or chips on the spokes. The spokes cross securely. The wheels are round. There is no vertical or horizontal variation in the front wheel when placed in a truing stand. There are no cracks, flexing or flaking in the carbon rims or the carbon shell. There are no cracks in the carbon hub bodies. There are no cracks in the carbon hub flanges. There are no cracks in the carbon plates that cover the flanges. There is no play in the hubs. There is no corrosion on the axles or on the skewers. The valve openings are not damaged or blocked. Frame and Wheel notes the following. The braking surfaces of the rear rim are elevated because they were refurbished by Lightweight. There is a light layer of glue on the rims. The free hub body shows light wear from a cassette. The braking surfaces of the rims show light wear.

11-speed upgrade

The rear hub is DT-Swiss 240 and thus the Campagnolo free hub body can be switched out to Shimano / SRAM 10-speed using a DT-Swiss free hub body replacement kit. The hub can accommodate a DT-Swiss 11-speed free hub body. However, the wheel will run about 1.5 mm off center and may create a clearance issue for frame sets with oversized chain stays or aero seat tubes. It will not affect performance. Frame and Wheel is informed that many upgrades to 11-speed have been carried out on the Lightweight Standard without any problems.

2013 annual letter to Frame and Wheel customers

Dear Frame and Wheel customers,

I am pleased to say that 2013 has been a year of solid growth for Frame and Wheel. Rated transactions increased 50 percent year on year to 833 (2012: 533) due to continued domestic and international demand for wheels, components, frame sets and bikes. The feedback score remained unchanged at 100 percent positive with buyers expressing satisfaction with Frame and Wheel’s accurate descriptions, fast shipping and professional customer service. Meanwhile, repeat and new business from individuals and independent bicycle dealers continues to fill the order book.  However, 2013 proved to be the year that important lessons were learned. Some customers expressed disappointment with the selling prices of their items. Some buyers complained that shipping and handling expenses were too high. I have realized that the level of detail in the descriptions is sometimes more than what is required. Consequently, I have introduced a consignment option for customers who want to realize a minimum amount from a sale. I have also revised the shipping and handling policies to lower shipping expenses. I plan to simplify and limit the length of the descriptions. Meanwhile, I have restructured the Frame and Wheel website so that it describes the eBay selling service exclusively, and created another website for Austro-Daimler frame sets (www.a-dbikes.com). I believe that the result of these changes will be improved competitiveness and better customer satisfaction for buyers and sellers. I would to thank Frame and Wheel customers for using the service and I look forward to working with you again in 2014.

Lightweight Disc carbon tubular rear wheel 700c DT Swiss 190 hub Shimano 10 speed time trial

Sold: $2,100 Buyer: Thailand

Lightweight Disc carbon tubular rear wheel 700c DT Swiss 190 hub Shimano 10 speed time trial

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a Lightweight Disc wheel on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheel was obtained by an independent bicycle dealer for demonstration and promotional purposes. It has never been raced. It has never been crashed. It has been on display. The wheel features carbon tubular rim, 20 mm rim width, DT Swiss 190 hub, Shimano 10 speed free hub body, oversized valve opening, startlingly low weight, distinctive carbon finish and Lightweight aero cool. The wheel as shown weighs 1 pounds and 12 ounces (800 g). There are 30 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. No skewer included. Includes wheel bag. Includes Lightweight new brake pads. Ships in custom wheel box. Maximum weight limit of 90 kg (rider + bicycle + gear).

Review of condition

The wheel is in good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. There is no cracking, flexing, discoloration or flaking in the rim. There are no dents, flexing, or flaking in the carbon surface of the wheel. The wheel is true and round. The hub spins freely and smoothly. There is no play in the hub. The valve opening is undamaged. The stickers are on securely. The braking surfaces of the rim show no wear. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is a 2 mm x 2 mm scratch on the non drive surface near the second “h” in Lightweight. There are fissures in some of the Lightweight stickers. There is a 150 mm light scratching on the drive side surface of the wheel. There is a light layer of glue on the rim. The free hub body shows light wear from a cassette.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that a disc wheel is a necessary tool for any road cyclist or triathlete who is serious about improving his or her performance in the race against the clock. This Lightweight Disc wheel is the lightest (and probably the stiffest) disc wheel Frame and Wheel has ever seen and most certainly the wheel that will launch a serious time trial competitor to a higher level of performance in the Race of Truth. The wheel is in good condition and shows immaterial signs of wear. It will produce an immediate speed and weight advantage and it will dramatically change the voice of any time trial bicycle. The new owner will relish the distinctive sound that this wheel makes when at speed and will become permanently spoiled by its light weight. An excellent and rare opportunity to obtain one of the finest disc wheel on the market today..

This VR8 is in good condition and has many more hours of use remaining. It will change radically the voice of any time trial bike and will result in an immediate and startling weight and speed advantage that will certainly block out any reservation the new owner has about riding a front wheel that has only eight spokes. A rare opportunity to obtain a very light and very aerodynamic wheel from Lightweight.
