Zipp from www.vo2maxout.com USA CYCLING COACH

By WILL March 30, 2009

I bought the Zipp 404s and in only 1200 miles, I noticed a sound coming from the rear wheel...after further examining the wheel, I found a 5mm hairline crack where the spoke meets the rim. I also experienced the free hub not engaging?

On the flip side these wheels roll faster then any other wheelset I ever used, and I used a lot!
I question the integrity,but will give another chance. I also use the Zipp 303 tubulars for climbing.

I will also say that there is something about when you coast and then pedal the hub seems to make this knocking sound in the rear hub? anyone?

I called Back country and without hesitation they are going to resolve and replace the wheelset.
Great Company!

Thanks,
Will Schneider
