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 404 NSW Carbon Road Disc Wheels.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Zipp 404 NSW Carbon Road Disc Wheels 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.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Wheels.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

  • Description: Zipp 404 NSW Carbon Road Disc Wheels – XDRFor performance and control without compromise, look no further than this 404 NSW clincher wheelset from Zipp. Each wheel features an extra-deep 58mm carbon rim for a stunning aerodynamic profile. Plus, with Zipp’s Sawtooth ABLC texturing on each rim, these wheels reduce high yaw drag for a remarkably stable performance, even in crosswinds. Advanced Hubset DesignWith its built-in Axial Clutch technology, the Cognition hubset utilises powerful magnets to disengage the ratcheting mechanism in your freehub for maximum speed and control whether you’re pedalling or coasting. This hubset also features disc brake compatibility, ensuring you have the braking power to outclass the competition in any weather.Features: Hubs: Cognition Disc Rim Material:¬†Carbon Rim Width Internal:¬†19mm Rim Width Outer:¬†26.4mm Rim Depth:¬†58mm Type:¬†Tubeless Ready Max Tyre Pressure:¬†125 psi Dimple Surface:¬†ABLC Sawtooth Technology Brake Interface:¬†Disc Brake Spoke Count:¬†24 Spoke Type:¬†Sapim CX-Ray J Bend Spoke Lacing Pattern:¬†2-Cross Nipples:¬†Sapim Secure-Lock J Bend Freehub Compatibility: SRAM XDR Weight:¬†760g (front), 840g (rear)Technology: 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. ImPress:¬†Zipp’s ImPress graphics technology prints graphics directly on the wheel, which allows the dimples to do what they were designed to achieve, to control vortex shedding and the rate at which air sheds off the wheel. Managing this is crucial to stability. ImPress graphics also give NSW a distinctive stealthy look.Buy¬†Zipp Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
