2018 Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Shimano SRAM 11spd Matte Black Road Bike Wheelset Closeout

New 2018 Zipp 404 Firecrest BLACK Carbon Clincher Wheelset Zipp wheels for model year 2018 are compatible with cassettes of up to 11-speed to work with all modern drivetrains. If perfection is the standard, then the 404 Firecrest wheelset delivers everything you could ask for, including a heritage forged in the Spring Classics. At the center of the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher is the 77/177 hubset, an innovation that results in improved stiffness, durability, simplicity and versatility. Optimized flange geometry and spoke hole attachment pattern with Sapim CX Sprint spokes to optimize torsional and lateral stiffness and robustness. Includes newly designed quick-release skewers with a wider more ergonomic handle to provide more leverage for opening and closing. When closed, lever contours neatly with the frame. New robust hub platform with distinctive graphics. For those looking for a wider gear range, or tackling especially extreme terrain, a XD driver body for 177 is sold separately and easily installed to allow for more cassette options including a 10-42. The hubset is designed to swap driver bodies without re-dishing wheel. Zipp’s Carbon Clincher technology preserves the aerodynamic advantages of the 404 Firecrest’s tubular brother, while adding the convenience of a clincher tire. And at just 1,692g, it’s light enough to climb up the steepest gradients with ease as a go-to all-around wheelset. The Firecrest shaping optimizes the aerodynamic profile of both the front half and the back half of the wheel. In addition, Firecrest moves the center of pressure of the wheel backwards, giving the 58 mm-deep rim the crosswind stability a box-section rim. At the same time, the 26.4 mm-wide brake track (at center) allows the clincher tire to take on a wider, more stable shape without compromising rolling resistance. It’s faster, simpler, and more stable. The new wheels retain all the small details that make Zipp wheels what they are. Exposed spoke nipples sit in the aerodynamic shadow of the rims, keeping serviceability simple without compromising speed. And our signature ABLC rim dimples squeeze every last second of performance possible. Each 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher wheel comes with Tangente Platinum Pro Evo brake pads, Zipp Integrated Valve Extender with valve-core wrench, rim tape and quick release.
