Roues Vélo Route Zipp 808 Firecrest Carbon Rim Brake

This Zipp 808 Firecrest wheel is made to let you go as fast as possible thanks to its 82 mm rim height, ZR1 hub and Sawtooth technology!

Optimal speed thanks to wind tunnel optimised rim profile
The Zipp 808 Firecrest carbon tubeless rim wheels are made with the ABLC Sawtooth design. This means that a profile like a golf ball is incorporated into the rim, leading the air around the rim in a steady, predictable flow. This reduces drag in crosswinds, and increases control! In addition, these Zipp wheels use the new method of printing logos directly on the wheels instead of using conventional stickers. This does not compromise on aerodynamics and looks incredibly fast too.

Zipp ZR1 hubs
The ZR1 hub is designed in Germany, and provides better sealing of the ball bearings and includes a redesigned engagement system. This results in improved hub durability and allows you to accelerate quickly thanks to the 66 engagement points!

Zipp Showstopper braking surface: control in any weather
Zipp 808 Firecrest wheels are finished with a Showstopper braking surface, made from durable silicon-carbide coating. This coating, together with the grooves in the brake surface, ensures that you always have sufficient braking power, whatever the weather or the length of the descent.

Tubeless ready, so compatibility for greater comfort
The Zipp 808 Firecrest wheels are Tubeless Ready, meaning you can choose whether you want to fit clinchers or tubeless tyres. With tubeless tyres it is possible to ride with lower tyre pressure than with clinchers. This ensures more comfort on poorer road surfaces and allows you to be fast on all terrains!

Zipp Lifetime Warranty
The Zipp Lifetime Warranty gives you, as the name suggests, a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, giving you ultimate security! The warranty becomes active after registration of your wheel(s) with Zipp and is non-transferable.

In short, the Zipp 808 Firecrest wheels offer maximum speed and are the wheels to break records with!

• To be used in combination with a Shimano and/or SRAM 9/10/11 speed groupset

• Zipp 808 Firecrest Tubeless Rim Brake wheels
• Tubeless Rim Tape
• Brake pads for carbon rims
• Tubeless Valves
• Quick Release Quick Release Skewers
• Quick Release End Caps

• Cassette remover Shimano or Campagnolo
• (possibly a torque wrench)

Installing a cassette on a wheel is easy if you have the right tools. If you purchase a cassette remover with a Shimano fit, you will be able to mount either a Shimano or Sram cassette on your rear wheel. Please note! For a Campagnolo cassette you need the Campagnolo tool. If you have a Shimano 9/10-speed cassette, first slide the spacer over the body. Then you place the cassette on the body. This can only be done in one way because of the fit of the body. Finally you turn the washer straight on by hand and tighten it with the cassette tool. Cassettes aren’t easily overtightened, but if you want you can use a torque wrench for this.

• Pay attention to the direction of travel when mounting your tyres
• For Shimano 9/10-speed, do not forget to mount the spacer first before installing the cassette
• Make sure the rim tape is stuck well in the rim
