Zipp 303 Carbon Clincher Wheels Review

• Zipp 303 Carbon Clincher Wheels – ShimanoPacked to the brim with Zipp’s innovative technologies, the 303 all-carbon wheelset is lightweight and responsive enough to suit riders of any skill level. A deep 45mm clincher rim offers excellent aerodynamics while also being stiff enough to make for a smooth riding experience. Additionally, the rim’s 26.4mm width means better traction and power over rolling resistance, making this wheel more durable even on rough surfaces.Fully Optimised HubsetThis wheelset comes with Zipp’s 77/177 hubset, a favourite of professionals for its ability to pair to with Sapim CX Sprint spokes to offer remarkable torsional stiffness, making for a stable performance that maintains speed for longer.Easy to InstallThis wheelset also features ergonomic quick-release skewers, designed to fit neatly in the frame while helping to make installation for your bike easy.Features: Hub Model:¬†77/177 Rim:¬†Clincher Rim Width:¬†26.4mm Rim Depth:¬†45mm Brake Track Width:¬†26.4mm Spokes:¬†Sapim CX-Sprint Spoke Hole Count:¬†24 Hole Spoke Pattern:¬†Radial Max Tyre Pressure:¬†125psi / 8.62bars Freehub Compatibility: Shimano Dimpled Surface:¬†ABLC SawTooth Nipples:¬†Sapim Secure-Lock Weight:¬†645g (front), 835g (rear)Technology: Showstopper:¬†Showstopper is a complimenting pairing of a directional, moulded-in, texture with silicon carbide particles suspended in the surface resin. The current media blast process applied to all Zipp rims increases the surface roughness of the brake track providing the rider with consistent and responsive braking. In order to improve this for the wettest of rides, Zipp have introduced a moulded-in groove specifically tuned for the Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro EVO Brake Pad. The grooves have been optimized to interact with leading edge (relative to the rotation of the wheel) of the brake pad and the four cooling channels. The leading edge of the pad and first two channels efficiently wipe water and debris outward, cleaning and drying the braking surface, while the second two cooling channels have maximum interference with the grooves allowing greater braking force than a smooth rim. The cleaning effects of the groove and pad interaction improve brake feel and consistency even in dry conditions. Hexfin Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC):¬†The Sawtooth dimple design consists of 12 nodes that are specifically clocked to start aerodynamic shearing at a rate of 50hz at a rider speed of 20mph. Sawtooth accomplishes this by inducing small sheet vortices that shed at a low magnitude, but at a higher natural frequency, thus decreasing the laminar bubble effect on the aerodynamically shielded side of the rim’s profile to further reduce high yaw drag and improve crosswind stability. SawTooth:¬†The name given to the Zipp NSW variable depth 53/58mm rim profile. This design is the result of rigorous wind tunnel and real-world testing. The rim shape takes natures elegant design solutions and combines their precise engineering finesse to deliver a wheel that performs like nothing else before. Firecrest:¬†A unique to Zipp rim profile that provides more aerodynamic finesse than any other rim design. It also improves handling in crosswinds significantly and increases the ride quality enormously.Buy¬†Zipp Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

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 303 Carbon Clincher Wheels 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.
