According to the product specialist
Pros
Aerodynamic and not sensitive to crosswinds. |
Direct, rigid and reliable carbon wheels. |
Showstopper braking surface for better control and maximum braking power. |
The Zipp 302 Tubeless Rim Brake wheels have an excellent price/quality ratio; they offer 45 mm deep rims, low weight and aerodynamic Sapim spokes at a very competitive price. |
The rims are compatible both with tubeless and folding tyres. Thus, you can ride tubeless and benefit from low rolling resistance, better grip and more comfort. |
The Zipp 76/176 hubs are reliable and easy to maintain. |
Lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects, except for wear and tear. |
The wheels are tubeless ready. |
The grey hubs and minimal use of decals both look great on these wheels. |
The cup-cone bearings by Shimano are highly reliable and easy to maintain. |
Cons
The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation. |
While the Sapim CX Sprint J-bend spokes provide more comfort compared to straight-pull spokes, they slightly reduce the wheel's stiffness. |
While 1600 grams is quite light, there are lighter wheelsets in this price range. |
Due to the carbon rim brake structure, these wheels are less suitable for long descents in the mountains, as they may blow or develop rim deformation. |
The internal rim width is fairly narrow at 15 mm. |
