The Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher road bike wheels feature a new brake track. The Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon wheels have had an upgrade to include the Showstopper brake track. This brake track ensures that you have more braking power and control.

The Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher wheel set is well known as being one of the highest quality carbon wheel sets on the market. The 77/177 hubs have a good seal and durability. These wheels are best used on flat asphalt roads and when driving in windy conditions You have a noticeable aerodynamic advantage and the crosswind sensitivity feels predictable.

Showstopper
This exclusive technique resulted in better modulation and increased stopping power. After 2 years of prototyping, extensive testing, the addition of new materials, and the adaptation of existing production processes, Showstopper braking surface can be applied. Showstopper is a coupling of an embedded texture with silicon carbide particles in the resin surface. It increases the surface roughness of the brake track, providing the rider with more consistent and responsive braking.

ABLC SawTooth
The ABLC SawTooth design consists of a marked dimple profile of Zipp. It ensures that airflow is conducted along the surface of the rim for optimum aerodynamics. Also, the stability is improved which provides more comfort.

• Zipp quick-release skewers

• Zipp brake pads
• Valve core removal tool
• Cassette spacer 10s

• Cassette remover Shimano or Campagnolo

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.
