Zipp 303 Carbon Clincher White Wheelset features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Wheels. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Zipp 303 Carbon Clincher White Wheelset.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Zipp 303 Carbon Clincher White Wheelset is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Wheels. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Wheels. Brands like Zipp are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Wheels category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Further product details

• Product ID 1: 25350694331
• Product ID 2: 728209UK
• Brand: Zipp
• RRP: £1985.99
• Description: Zipp 303 Carbon Clincher White WheelsetPacked to the brim with Zipp’s innovative technologies, this 303 all-carbon wheelset is lightweight and responsive enough to suit riders of any skill level. A deep 45mm clincher rim offers excellent aerodynamics while also being stiff enough to make for a smooth riding experience. Additionally, the rim’s 26.4mm width means better traction and power over rolling resistance, making this wheel more durable even on rough surfaces.Fully Optimised HubsetThis wheelset comes with Zipp’s 77/177 hubset, which has become a favourite of professionals for its ability to pair to with Sapim CX Sprint. The hubset optimises the spokes to offer remarkable torsional stiffness, making for a stable performance that maintains speed for longer.Features: Hub Model:¬†77/177 Rim:¬†Clincher Rim Width:¬†26.4mm Rim Depth:¬†45mm Brake Track Width:¬†26.4mm Spokes:¬†Sapim CX-Sprint Spoke Hole Count:¬†24 Hole Spoke Pattern:¬†Radial Max Tyre Pressure:¬†125psi / 8.62bars Dimpled Surface:¬†ABLC SawTooth Decal Colour: White Freehub Compatibility: Shimano Nipples:¬†Sapim Secure-Lock Weight:¬†645g (front), 835g (rear)Technology: Showstopper:¬†Showstopper is a complimenting pairing of a directional, moulded-in, texture with silicon carbide particles suspended in the surface resin. The current media blast process applied to all Zipp rims increases the surface roughness of the brake track providing the rider with consistent and responsive braking. In order to improve this for the wettest of rides, Zipp has introduced a moulded-in groove specifically tuned for the Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro EVO Brake Pad. The grooves have been optimized to interact with the leading edge (relative to the rotation of the wheel) of the brake pad and the four cooling channels. The leading edge of the pad and first two channels efficiently wipe water and debris outward, cleaning and drying the braking surface, while the second two cooling channels have maximum interference with the grooves allowing greater braking force than a smooth rim. The cleaning effects of the groove and pad interaction improve brake feel and consistency even in dry conditions. Hexfin Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC):¬†The Sawtooth dimple design consists of 12 nodes that are specifically clocked to start aerodynamic shearing at a rate of 50hz at a rider speed of 20mph. Sawtooth accomplishes this by inducing small sheet vortices that shed at a low magnitude, but at a higher natural frequency, thus decreasing the laminar bubble effect on the aerodynamically shielded side of the rim’s profile to further reduce high yaw drag and improve crosswind stability. SawTooth:¬†The name given to the Zipp NSW variable depth 53/58mm rim profile. This design is the result of rigorous wind tunnel and real-world testing. The rim shape takes natures elegant design solutions and combines their precise engineering finesse to deliver a wheel that performs like nothing else before. Firecrest:¬†A unique to Zipp rim profile that provides more aerodynamic finesse than any other rim design. It also improves handling in crosswinds significantly and increases the ride quality enormously.Buy¬†Zipp Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
