  • Zipp’s 302 Carbon Clincher Front Road Wheel is constructed from a carbon fibre that’s produced in Zipp’s very own factory, ensuring they have complete control of the manufacturing process. The 45mm deep section rim has been designed to minimise aerodynamic drag and improve handling and stability, meaning Zipp’s 302 front wheel offers you the ride quality that Zipp wheels are known and loved for, but at a more attainable price point. Fast, Light and Tough The 302 is hand assembled to Zipp’s 76 front hub, Sapim CX Sprint J-bend spokes, and Sapim External Brass Secure Lock nipples. This provides a wheel that is fast and reliable, light enough to use on the longest climbs and tough enough to ride on spring classics and poor road surfaces. Easy Maintenance The end caps on Zipp’s 76 front hub can be simply removed by hand for ease of cleaning and lubrication and as J-bend spokes have been used, sourcing replacements will be easy too. Riding speed isn’t the only thing that’s fast about this wheel, Zipp’s specially designed rim bed means tyres can be changed in seconds rather than minutes!

As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.

But onto the reason you’re here today, let’s delve into some of the details of Zipp 302 Carbon Clincher Front Wheel to help you understand a bit more about where it sits in the market against some of the many alternatives that are available out there. We’re very aware that by buying our cycling stuff online that we’ve missed out on the opportunity to actually see and test the product first. This is where reviews come in to their own, as it gives us that chance to hear from other like-minded cyclists about how good or bad a product is.

As you would expect, our first and top piece of advice before buying, is to read lots and lots of Zipp 302 Carbon Clincher Front Wheel reviews. With a review score of 9.4 out of 10 it’s likely that there will be lots of great detailed reviews to help you.

Something that makes it particularly challenging is the vast range of choice, as mentioned above there are 49 products in the Front Wheels category. There are also 286 products from the brand Zipp. And then getting into the specifics even more there are 23 products from Zipp in the category “Front Wheels”.
