Zipp 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Brake

Nice wheelset, makes for a very comfortable ride

Pros & Cons

Upgraded my BMC RoadMachine with the 404 Firecrest. Never thought it would make such a big difference! Rides like on rails and is really fast!!! At the same time, this was the jump to tubeless and hookless for me, which made me a little uneasy at first. In fact, mounting the GP 5000 S TR in 28mm was no problem with a few tricks from the net. Pumping without a compressor was also possible. With milk, everything is tight so far. The wheels are very good quality and look great! What could (still) be better: - Put the freewheel and seal better in thin grease/oil. At the beginning it was rather stiff. - On the inside of the wheels (straight flanks), there are visible seams from production that could be better worked.
